THE WEDDING PRESENT
I'm From Further North Than You

From the LP "Take Fountain"


The song is simple & ludic to play. Only one guitar is playing here.

I'll try to tab the ending solo later on.

The LP is very nice as well.

Verse 1 :

And then you said "No, I'm not from the south,
I am from further north than you!"

With that you kissed me full on the mouth
And that was when I knew

Pre-chorus :


		B		A
you were either drunk or you wanted me

		C#				B
And, you know, either way I wasn't going to disagree


verse 2:


But how did one crazy night turn into six weeks
How can we be going out if neither of us speaks


Pre-chorus :

			B	A
I think we're the same in many ways

	C#		B
And I admit we had some memorable days


Then B + A


		    E 		B
But just not very many

		E 		A
I just think we both need more,

			C#
and we can't ignore how unhappy we were

	B			  C#	   A
I'd been abandoned by her and you needed a friend

Verse 3 :

All right the night we walked into the sea I guess that was okay
And when we bought that weird pornography
yeah that was a good day

The first time I saw your red bikini I just couldn't help but stare
And when we counted planets in the sky
I was just happy you were there

Pre-chorus :

			B	A
I think we're the same in many ways

	C#		B
And I admit we had some memorable days


Then B + A


		    E 		B
But just not very many

		E 		A
I just think we both need more,

			C#
and we can't ignore how unhappy we were

	B			  C#	   A
I'd been abandoned by her and you needed a friend
