playing live for a German music channel called Viva 2):

A/---------------------------------------------------

E/---------------------------------------------------

Then the acoustic guitar enters with the chords A and E7.

This is what Graham plays during the verses:

e/-----------------------------

E/-----------------------------

*=bend the string up and down a bit to get the right sound of the solo.

This is what Graham plays in the chorus:

*** Coffee + TV ***

By : Marco Gegenheimer (m_gegenheimer@hotmail.com)

and Danny Parrott (fparrott@mail.geocities.com)

This intro is almost as the one 13:

e/----------------------

B/----------------------

E/----------------------

In the song there are a few guitar fills:

GUITAR FILL 1:

e/-----------------

B/-----------------

GUITAR FILL 2:

e/-----------------

G/-----------------

Graham play some strange chords during the verses. I saw the chords in a

live gig that I recorded. But I'll write 13 after the chords. Here they are

in the right order:

B13: (76x8xx)

A13: (54x6xx)

E: (022100) Actually, Graham plays the part Danny Parrott has tabbed

Instead of an E.

G13: (32x4xx)

F: (133211) Play with a low thumb. Graham often plays the bar chords with

a low thumb.

A#13:(65x8xx)

C#: (x46664)

He doesn't play this order all the way during the song.

When you play the first two "13" chords then bend the G string a little.

But I think he uses some sort of pedal that makes that "bending" sound.

Because he doesn't bend the G-string when he plays the song.

Verse 1:

Do you feel like a chain store?

A E

Practically floored

G F

One of many zeros

A# C#

Kicked around bored

Your ears are full, but you're empty

A E

Holding out your heart

G F

To people who never really

A# A

Care how you are (GUITAR FILL 1)

(Chorus)

C#m

So give me Coffee & TV

B A (Graham plays B13)

History

(GUITAR FILL 2)

C#m

I've seen so much

I'm going blind

A B(B13)

And I'm braindead virtually

C#m

'Cos Sociability

B(B13) A

It's hard enough for me

(GUITAR FILL 2)

C#m E

Take me away from this big bad world

A D

And agree to marry me

So we can start over again

Verse 2:

Do you go to the country?

A E

It isn't very far

G F

Those people there will hurt you

A# C#

'Cos of who you are

Your ears are full of the language

A E

There's wisdom there you're sure

G F

'Til the words start slurring

A# A

And you can't find the door (GUITAR FILL 1)

(Chorus)

C#m

So give me Coffee & TV
