Arkells – John Lennon chords

This is the acoustic version, I'll post a video of me playing it later, my youtube is /danzangari.



Em             AmHead on the wall...

G                       CAnd my piss hardly makes the stall,

G                              CAnd this time it's not an act.

G                CThis time I swear it's fact.


Em              AmNow I ramble on,

G            CAbout that girl who's gone;

G                                CAnd I tried teaching her guitar,

G                       CNow she's standing at the bar.


AmShe tells me her favourite song,

CAnd I say, "Yeah, that's a good one..."

AmShe says it follows her around.

C                                 Move up two frets and strum once
No shit, it's by the Beatles.


E        BmI'm so lost,

F#mAnd I live just around the corner.

E                 BmWell, here's a thought,

F#mGet Frank McCourt to write the foreword.


AAnd I'm John Lennon, in '67.

F#mI'm John Lennon, in '67.

AI'm John Lennon, in '67.

F#mI'm John Lennon, in '67.


Em / Am / G / C
G / C / G / C


Em                AmAdam's in love again.

G                                 CAnd the good Rev wants to jam instead.

G                    CMorgan's hearing none of it.

G                          CShe says we're doing it again.


Em                              AmThe neighbourhood's up in arms.

G                                  CThey're trying to shut down all the bars

G                       CWhen everyone's a private eye

G                                   CThey're hiding in the bushes every night.


AmThe cats square off in the street,

CThe dogs go through the garbage.

AmYou wanna stay for the night tonight?

C                                       C then slide up two frets strum once
Well I know all about platonic, honey.


E        BmI'm so lost,

F#mAnd I live just around the corner.

E                 BmWell, here's a thought,

F#mGet Frank McCourt to write the foreword.


AAnd I'm John Lennon, in '67.

F#mI'm John Lennon, in '67.
