Song lyrics:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turin Brakes – Average Man -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tim Lawson Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe) Average man, very nice chord progression here. Fiddle around with the rhythm, you’ll get it soon enough :) Chords: Bm Am Em F#5 D G E|-2---0---0---x---2---3--- B|-3---1---0---x---3---0--- G|-4---2---0---x---2---0--- D|-4---2---2---4---0---0--- A|-2---0---2---4---0---2--- E|-2---x---0---2---x---3--- Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F#5 powerchord, I think a F#minor also works in stead off the F#5 if you’re planning to play everything in bare. But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F#5 was more of an indication of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though :) Intro: Bm Am Em F#5 x 2 Verse 1: Bm Am If i was a farmer Em F#5 Instead of a faker Bm Am If i was a realer Em F#5 and not just some raker Bm Am Raking through a memory Em F#5 that doesn't belong to me Bm Am Just someone I could of been Em F#5 if only i kept walking... Chorus: D G Have another drink my son D G Enjoy another cigarette D G 'Cos it's time you realised... Em Bm you're just an average man... Verse 2: Bm Am Alone on a motorway Em F#5 you catch you're breath Bm Am Cat's eyes lead everyway Em F#5 to lonesomness Bm Am Since you learn to hide your fears Em F#5 and downsize your dreams Bm Am Still alive, still sincere Em F#5 inside the scheme... Chorus: D G Have another drink my son D G Enjoy another cigarette D G 'Cos it's time you realised... Em Bm you're just an average man... Verse 3: (different chord progression) Bm D G Em And ff this is dark-ness here Bm D G Em G And if this is dark-ness... coming Chorus: D G Have another drink my son D G Enjoy another cigarette D G 'Cos it's time you realised... Em Bm you're just an average man... ---------------------------------------------- 25/04/03 Wow this is the third song i’ve tabbed out tonight from the Ether Song album now..i think i might tab the whole album ;) Feel free to contact me for any corrections or questions at: [email protected]
