Blur - "A Song" (from the single "Charmless Man")

A great song, but it's too short!!!

A C D

When he speaks to her

G A#m G

Without looking at her

A C D#

You sing the driest of words

A# A E

With his mind on what's on the telly

A C D

The rumors pass on

G A#m G

As he staggers through the air

A C D#

Knowing he won't get home

A# A E

To the word of people in cars alone (???)

Blur - "Ultranol" (from the single "The Universal")

Easily one of their best b-sides to date. I don't know the

words, but here are the chords, it's better to play them with

power (fifth) chords:

Verse:

A (A#) B

Transition:

A D C# B

Chorus:

G F# F E (2x) D C# C C# D C# C C#

Ending:

D C
