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