ICKY QUALMS - Cardiacs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: The Mop?
From the album "Toy World" and "Special Garage Concerts Vol 2"
A really old Cardiacs tune, I worked this out using the Garage Concerts
version.
Main Riff
[C#] [G#] [C#] [D] [A] [C#] [G#] [C#] [D] [A] [F] [G] [E] [F] [G] [A] [B] [C#]
e--9----9-10-------9----9-10------13--15--12--13-------------|
B----9------10-------9------10-------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------12----------|
D------------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------------|
There is also another guitar playing another lead part over
this end section of the above;
[E] [F] [G] [A] [B] [C#]
e-------------------------------|
B-------------------------------|
G--1-2-4-2-1--2-4-5--5-4--------|
D-------------------------------|
A-------------------------------|
E-------------------------------|
Uh-oh, icky qualms!
Verse (chords implied by bass)
[C#]I'm getting of sick of just sitting around
If you think that might [G#]keep me [D#]safe and sound
You wrap me up and you keep me warm
Are you thinking I've [A#]just been [F]FUCKING BORN!
The second verse has this lead part;
[C#] [G#] [D#] [A#] [F]
e--9----11-------------|
B-----9------11--------|
G---------------10-----|
D----------------------|
A----------------------|
E----------------------|
And the singing is really sketchy;
[C#]I realise that was quite some time ago
I'm about[G#] to be set [D#]free
I tell them I'm a man, but they don't believe me
And I tell them I'm a [A#]man, but they [F]don't believe me
[G] [A#] [F] [B] [F#]
e-------------------------|
B-------3--------4--------|
G--4----3-2--2---4-3--3---|
D--5----3-3--3---4-4--4---|
A--5----1-3--3---2-4--4---|
E--3------1--1-----2--2---|
[A]Mum's the same
Dad's the same
They [G]think it's [C]obscene
Oh God![E]
I [A]tell them I'm a man but they don't believe me
I tell them I'm a man but they don't believe me
I tell them I'm a man but they don't believe me
But if [G]I'm still here in the [C]morning
[D] [C]
e--2-3-0-2-3-0-2-3-0-2-3-0-2---0-2---0-2---0--|
B----------------------------3-----3-----3----|
G---------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------|
Then theres the E chords and the main riff, then a final short verse;
The [C#]band have formed
I don't know what I want
The band come and [G#]get me
So they [D#]know that I'm awake then
As far as I'm concerned, that's a load of bull
I know I'm available all I [A#]need is to [F]call
But if [G]I'm still here in the [C]morning
Enjoy the craziness :)
