Intro

Strum between ( G ) and ( G5/E ) - a 'down down up down' ryhthm , which continues into the 
verse. I like to start on the bottom strings then throw in a few top strings as we get 
into the intro..


VERSE 1


(Strumming between G and G5/E )
I've got my head down in my books
                     ( D )
I've been reading all weekend,
                       (Back to G and G5/E )
But I don't learn anything

Because my mind is full of emptiness,
         ( D )                        (Back to G and G5/E )
I've less energy than a stick of celery.

             ( Am )   ( C )         ( G )
And then you call me up, down in Jericho,
( G7 )             ( Am )     ( C )      ( G )
   To see if I'll go for a drink or two


CHORUS 1


( G7 )    ( Am )       ( C )
   But I don't want you to see,
( G )             ( G7 )             ( Am )
 What the lonely nights are doing to me,
     ( C )             ( G )    ( G7 )
Bit my fingers to the bone,
     ( Am )          ( C )
And I don't want to hear you say,
( G )         ( G7 )
You let what happened anyway
( Am )       ( C )
  'Cos you don't know anything


BRIDGE / FREAK OUT BIT

It's a bit weird to work out. I think i strumming between ( A ) and ( Am ) for a few bars. 
Then hold the ( A ) for a bar or two longer, then ( C ), then back to strumming between ( G ) 
and ( G5/E )


VERSE 2

                                          ( D )
I was a stronger man than you when I loved Delilah,
                     (Back to G and G5/E )
With her pants on fire

But then she cut my hair and left me here,
          ( D )                         (Back to G and G5/E )
With more inertia than a limpet on the shore
        ( Am )          ( C )             ( G )
When the tide falls so low I feel like letting go,
( G7 )             ( Am )( C )       ( G )
  Though I should go to my family


CHORUS 2


( G7 )    ( Am )       ( C )
   But I don't want you to see,
( G )             ( G7 )             ( Am )
 What the lonely nights are doing to me,
     ( C )             ( G )    ( G7 )
Bit my fingers to the bone,
     ( Am )          ( C )
And I don't want to hear you say,
( G )         ( G7 )
You let what happened anyway
( Am )       ( C )              ( G )    ( G7 )
  'Cos you don't know anything


    ( Am )          ( C )
And I don't want to hear you say,
( G )         ( G7 )
You let what happened anyway
( Am )       ( C )              ( G )   (Let ring)
  'Cos you don't know anything
