THE MEMBERS "THE SOUND OF THE SUBURBS"
tabbed by Beewak (mooseheart.faith@ntlworld.com)
[Intro]
[C]Same old boring Sunday morning, old man's out washing the [G]car
[C]Mum's in the kitchen cooking Sunday dinner
Her best meal, moaning while it [G]lasts
And [A]Johnny's [C]upstairs in his [D]bedroom sitting in the dark
[A]Annoying the [C]neighbours with his [D]punk rock electric guitar
This is the [G]sound...
This is the [B]sound of the [A]suburbs
This is the [G]sound...
This is the [B]sound of the [A]suburbs[C][E][D]
[C]Every lousy Monday morning Heathrow jets go crashing over our [G]home
[C]Ten o'clock, Broadmoor siren driving me mad - won't leave me a[G]lone
[A]The woman [C]next door just [D]sits and stares outside
[A]She hasn't [C]come out once ever [D]since her husband died
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
B5 C5 Powerslide
A#5 Bb5 B5 C5 Db5 D5 Eb5 E5 F5 F#5 G5 [slide down]
[G]Youth Club Group used to [B]wanna be free [G]- now they want [D]anarchy!
[G]They play too fast, they [B]play out of tune [G]- practice in the [D]singer's bedroom
[C]Drums quite good, the bass is too loud and [B]I can't hear the [A]words
[Chorus]
[Fill]
[Additional lyrics from album version]
Saturday morning family shoppers crowding out the center of town
Young blokes sitting on the benches shouting at the young girls walking around
And Johnny stands there at his window looking at the night
I said, "Hey, what you listening to, there's nothing there?"
That's right!
