COME ON SISTER
by Belle & Sebastian
from the album 'Write About Love'

tabbed by drew (iamdrew@gmail.com)

lots of catchy synth in this song.  the chords i've written out try to
follow both the bass and the melody, but in some places it's a toss up
whether you want that or not.  in either case, i've made it as detailed
as i can.  as such, it's completely up to you.  :)

as for the "if you touch me you can never go back" part, it's tricky.
i hear a C bass all the way through with only the synth funking it up.
you might have luck with an Fmaj7 if you're really not into my attempt.

enjoy though, i couldn't believe there wasn't a tab for this amazing 
song already.  super-cute.
