Chord/Tab song: I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous

I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous - Frank Turner



---------------------------------------------------


Tabbed by James Oliver ([email protected])

I don't think the chords are quite this straight forward, and I'm yet to see Frank play
to know what he's actually doing. But for now, these chords work, and I shall update it
I have seen what is actually played. I decided to work out the chords because I have not
them anywhere on the internet, and that is a shame because "I Knew Prufrock..." is
Turner at his briliant best! Email me if you have any suggestions for changes to chords etc.

[C]Let's begin at the beginning

[Am]We're lovers and we're losers

[G]Heroes and we're pioneers

[F]We're beggars and we're choosers

[D]Skirting round the edges of the i[E]deal demographic

[D]We're almost on the guest list

[C]We're always stuck in traffic

[C]We've watched our close associates

[A]Often play their parts

[G]Chatting up the it girls

[F]And they're tearing up the charts

[D]While we were playing with coppers to get our [E]rounds in at the bar

[D]We're the C team with the the almost famous o[C]ld friends of the stars

[C]Justin is the last g[Am]reat romantic poet

[G]He's the only one among us who is e[F]ver gonna make it

[D]We planned the revolution from a c[E]heap Southampton bistro

[D]I don't remember details, but there were [C]English boys with Banjos

[C]Jay is our St George and he's standing [Am]on a wooden chair

[G]And he sings songs and he slays dragons and he's[F] losing all his hair

[D]And Adam is the resurrected [E]spirit of Gram Parsons

[D]In blood instead of Rhinestone and [C]living in South London

And n[E]o one's really clear about [F]Tommy's job description

But it's [D]pretty clear he's vital to the [C]whole damn operation

And Dave [D]Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the [E]safest the girl I know

And [D]Zo and Harps will scamper off to victory in the [C]City we call home

And we won't change are [C]ways
We will proud rem[G]ain, when the glory [F]fades, when the glory fades

Yeah I am [C]sick and tired of people who are [Am]living on the b-list

Yeah they're [G]waiting to be famous, and they're [F]wondering why they do this

And I [D]know I'm not the one who it [E]habitually optimistic

But I'm the [D]one who's got the microphone here so [C]just remember this

Well [C]life is about love, lost [Am]minutes and lost evening

About [G]fire in our bellies and about [F]furtive little feelings

And the [D]aching amplitudes that set our [E]needles all flickering

And they [D]help us with remembering that the [C]only that's thing left to do is live

After all the [Am]loving and losing, after all the [G]heroes and the pioneers

[F]The only thing that's left to do is [G]get another round in at the [C]bar.
