This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song: Sleep The Clock Around

Band: Belle & Sebastian

Album: The Boy With The Arab Srap

Tabbed by: Craig G Telfer

This highlight from 1998's "The Boy With The Arab Strap" LP consists solely

of four chords: E'-B-C#m-A. There are many variations on how to play this.

Here are some of them:

G|----------------------------------|
D|-22222222-------------------------|}
A|---------2222222244444444---------|} play this sepuence until the end
E|-------------------------55555555-|

alternatively......

G|------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|

E|-1212121212121212777777779999999955555555-|

perhaps you could put a capo over the second fret.....

G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|-555555550000000022222222---------|
E|-------------------------33333333-|

Listen to the song to get the rhythm correct because the bass line is just a

touch jerky.

Very simple, but often simplicity is best. Anyone remember "Sister Ray" by

The Velvet Underground?? Three chords for seventeen minutes. Genius.

If anyone else likes Belle & Sebastian or anything then e-mail me at

Thanks very much
