BOUNCING BOMB - TWISTED WHEEL
This is a very simple song but deserved to be up here as i think it's their best one. I
out a video of Jonny at Glasto so i think it's 100% correct.
When changing from G to Em, there is a transition chord which you strum just once so it goes:
G Em
3-3-3-3-0-0-|
3-3-3-3-0-0-|
0-0-0-0-0-0-|
0-0-0-0-2-2-|
2-2-2-0-2-2-|
3-3-3-2-0-0-|
Capo 2nd fret
G Em x3
[C] [Am]
[G]Jimmy Lee, [Em]chip pan grease
[G]Set fire to the [Em]school canteen
[G]All the children [Em]had to leave
They[C] missed school for a day
The [Am]teachers still got paid
[G]Ivan the [Em]Terrible
[G]Looks after some [Em]animals
[G]Turkeys and high[Em]land cattle
He [C]sells them for their meat
He?s a [Am]farmer on his feet
[G]Sitting on the [Em]railway line
[G]Scaring all the [Em]passers by
[G]Stars and stripes flash[Em] in their eyes
Scared [C]the kids off the bus
[Am]Driver gave no fuss
[G]Lives his life so [Em]dangerously
Goes [G]by the name of[Em] American Steve
[G]Keeps some hammers [Em]up his sleeve
He?s a [C]man you?d like to meet
But [Am]don?t give him no cheek, don?t give him no cheek
We[Em] wont forget your face, no we wont forget your face
[D]Sit and watch the world all day
[Em]When you have done one, you?ll go like the bouncing bomb
And you?ll[D] bounce bounce bounce and you?ll free the dam
[C]When you have to[Am] go
[C]When you?re dead and [Am]gone
The [C]bouncing bomb will be re[D]membered
[G]John the landlord [Em]takes no slack
[G]He don?t care if you [Em]never come back
[G]Sits down with a [Em]black bin bag
[C]It?s full of CDs
He?ll [Am]give you one for free
[G]Hazel sits down[Em] by the bar
[G]Drinking beer and [Em]Advakat
[G]Has to sneak out [Em]for her tar
She thinks [C]no one knows she smokes
[Am]Little does she know, little do we know
We[Em] wont forget your face, no we wont forget your face
[D]Sit and watch the world all day
[Em]When you have done one, you?ll go like the bouncing bomb
And you?ll[D] bounce bounce bounce and you?ll free the dam
[C]When you have to[Am] go
[C]When you?re dead and [Am]gone
The [C]bouncing bomb will be re[D]membered
[G]Wendy walks the [Em]roads all day
[G]Lost her house, she [Em]lost her way
[G]Scarf, coat and [Em]anorak
She?s [C]looking for her man
She [Am]knows she never can
[G]Don?t forget about [Em]Steve the mean
[G]Kept his money in a [Em]submarine
[G]He?d been shaking [Em]money trees
C(one strum)
He was an entrepreneur
Am
But no one really cared
G
They just sit back and stare
