Electric Trains
(Difford/Tilbrook)
Vocal: Glenn
Chords typed up by Geordan Rosario, but thought up by Glenn Tilbrook.
Remember that one, folks.
I figured out the chords from a videotape of their performance on
Conan O'Brien, so if there are blatant errors, that's probably
where they're from. Also, my tape was cut off, so I don't know the
ending!

=====================================================================
INTRO: Cm F Cm F
When I was crowned a mummy's boy by friends I didn't like
I made a million trips to school upon my father's bike
I used to sit between his legs, perched on a piece of wood
If it ever rained on us, I'd slip beneath his hood
And at home the radio was on
REFRAIN:
========
Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb
>From Julie Andrews to Jerry Garcia
Life was all fun and games
Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb
I was out of my head and underneath my bed
Playing with electric trains
At home the stereo was on
My head was filled with rock
I played a willow cricket bat guitar
And soloed round the clock
My records stacked up in a pile
Collected from the charts
And Top of the Pops
REFRAIN
BRIDGE:
=======
Kneeling with torchlight
Shining before me
In my bed my eyeballs stuck in readers wives
Pubic hairs proudly counted everyday
Manhood took me slowly out into the milky way
ADLIB: Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb (3x)
I chased the girls and made them cry
My hair grew down my back
The passing of my teenage years
Was spent down in the sack
I played guitar and formed a band
I puked up all night long
As people came to sit and stare
While I raced through my songs
The sound of music passed me by
Just like the Grateful Dead
REFRAIN
(repeat to end)
