My favorite song from "Bona Drag" and unfortunately no good tab for it :с
Here's how I play it. For capo version transpose it -2 and put capo on the second fret.
[Intro]
A E F#m A F#m E F#m A
F#m A F#m E F#m A F#m E F#m A F#m E
[Verse]
F#m B E Fm
Off the rails I was and off the rails
B
I was happy to stay
A F#m A F#m E
Get out of my way
F#m B
On the rack I was
E Fm B
Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy
A F#m A F#m
A reasonably good buy
[Chorus]
(Here I play a little power chord progression)
F#m G# A B E
The Piccadilly palare
D
Was just silly slang
Dbm D F#m
Between me and the boys in my gang
F#m G# A B E D
So bona to vada, oh you
Dbm D F#m
Your lovely eek and your lovely riah
F#m A F#m E F#m A F#m E
[Verse]
F#m B
We plied an ancient trade
E Fm
Where we threw all life's instructions away
B F#m A F#m E
Exchanging lies and digs my way
F#m B
Cause in a belted coat
E
Oh, I secretly knew
Fm B
That I hadn't a clue
A F#m A F#m
(No, no, no, no, no you can't get there that way, you follow me)
[Chorus]
F#m G# A B E
The Piccadilly palare
D
Was just silly slang
Dbm D F#m
Between me and the boys in my gang
F#m G# A B E
Exchanging palare
D
You wouldn't understand
Dbm D Bm
Good sons like you never do
[Interlude]
(After the part below may be extra verse in some versions)
Em Bm Em Bm G A Em Bm Em Bm G D E
F#m A F#m E F#m A F#m E
[Verse]
F#m B
A cold water room
E
it's not much, I know
Fm B
but for now it's where I belong
A F#m A F#m
Am I really doing wrong?
F#m B E
Around the centre of town
Fm B
is where I belong
A F#m A F#m
Am I really doing wrong?"
[Chorus]
F#m G# A B E
So why do you smile
D
When you think about Earl's court?
A
But you cry when you think of all
D A F#m
The battles you've fought and lost?
F#m G# A B E
It may all end tomorrow
D Dbm
Or it could go on forever
D E
In which case I'm doomed
D Dbm
It could go on forever
D E
In which case I'm doomed
D Dbm D E D Dbm D E D Dbm D E (fade)
