Chords in parenthesis are relative to a capo on the 8th fret.
Capo at 3 would work, but 8 sounds closest to the album, where
I think the guitarist is barring everything way up the neck.
The instrumental bridge is tabbed at the bottom.
Let me know if I made any mistakes.

The recording is a little flat, A=435ish, so you�ll sound
a little off pitch unless you tune down accordingly.

Weird chords:
For the capo 8 chords, you can hold the Em shape and just
accent the higher notes, or only play the higher notes.

No capo Capo 8

C(E)
My room faces north but the sun�s in the south
Eb(G)
I�m just waking up to the news of my birth
Gm(Bm) Bb(D)
I am a girl and I�m lucky to be here
Ab(C) Fm(Am)
Whatever that�s worth

C(E)
Like an ostrich I lived with my head in the sand
Eb(G)
Slipped into corners, sat on my hands
Gm(Bm) Bb(D)
I learned to stifle the shouts and the outrage
Ab(C) Fm(Am)
And feeling deep down

Cm(Em)
With my chains falling off
Cm/B(Em/Eb)
And the hope in a friend
Cm/Bb(Em/D)
Cafes and walkways
Cm/A(Em/Db)
sculptured weekends
Ab(C) Eb(G)
I�m getting to love my freedom
Ab(C) Eb(G)
I�m getting to like my surroundings

C(E)
My room faces north but the sun�s in the south
Eb(G)
You are far out of reach Could I be any worth
Gm(Bm) Bb(D)
To some special person? My mind is unknowing
Ab(C) Fm(Am)
Of any such love

C(E)
So I yell out the window, answer the mail
Eb(G)
My diary�s quiet, the definitive nail
Gm(Bm) Bb(D)
In my social coffin. I blame all the boffins
Ab(C) Fm(Am)
For making me fail

Cm(Em)
For an hour in the park
Cm/B(Em/Eb)
Or an hour on the couch
Cm/Bb(Em/D)
With the boy of my choice
Cm/A(Em/Db)
If he makes me go ouch
Ab(C) Eb(G)
I will swap all my dumb school prizes
Ab(C) Eb(G)
I am open to dark surprises

Cm(Em) Gm(Bm) Ab(C) Eb(G) Fm(Am) Cm(Em) Db(F) Cm(Em) G(B) Cm(Em)

C(E)
My room faces north but the sun�s in the south
Eb(G)
You are far out of reach, perfect hand, perfect mouth
Gm(Bm) Bb(D)
The boredom, the freedom, the train on the meadow
Ab(C) Fm(Am)
Please keep me in dreams

Eb(G)
I don�t want commitment
Bb(D)
I don�t want the drama
Ab(C) Fm(Am)
I just want your jeans
C(E)
I just want your jeans


Instrumental Bridge:
The nice thing about playing with capo 8 is that you can play
the instrumental melody pretty easily while strumming the chords.
