Adolescence (2013)
(McAloon)
From: "Crimson/Red" (2013)
The chords on the recording are played using a sound called ?Fat Fifth?,
which adds the fifth to every note played, thus creating densely layered
chords which are difficult to reproduce on a guitar. I think what I?ve got
here is pretty close, but it is just a suggestion, of course.

[C] Adolescence - what's it like?
It's a[Csus4(add9)] psychedelic motorbike
You'll[F] smash it up ten times a day
Then you[Cadd9] walk a[C]way
It's[C] moonlight on a balcony
It's[Csus4(add9)] pure hormonal agony
Bad[F] poetry. Its greeting card?
[Cadd9]Will (the [C]Bard)
[C] Adolescence - why's it so?
Ask[Csus4(add9)] someone else; how should I know?
It's a [F]song I sang and then forgot
Too [Cadd9]long a[C]go
When [C/B]I was a [F]Romeo[G] in love for[C]ever
Un[Am]able to forget some [Em]Juliet
[F]Romeo (Romeo) -[G] inconstant? [C]Never!
It's [Bb]knives flashing in fountains, poison
[Am]Capulets' letters that go as[Em]tray
Mole[Gmadd11]hills bigger than mountains
Your [Dm]pre sat nav, learning to [F6]find your [G]way[G7]
