I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous - Frank Turner
---------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by James Oliver ([email protected])
I don't think the chords are quite this straight forward, and I'm yet to see Frank play
to know what he's actually doing. But for now, these chords work, and I shall update it
I have seen what is actually played. I decided to work out the chords because I have not
them anywhere on the internet, and that is a shame because "I Knew Prufrock..." is
Turner at his briliant best! Email me if you have any suggestions for changes to chords etc.
C
Let's begin at the beginning
Am
We're lovers and we're losers
G
Heroes and we're pioneers
F
We're beggars and we're choosers
D E
Skirting round the edges of the ideal demographic
D
We're almost on the guest list
C
We're always stuck in traffic
C
We've watched our close associates
A
Often play their parts
G
Chatting up the it girls
F
And they're tearing up the charts
D E
While we were playing with coppers to get our rounds in at the bar
D C
We're the C team with the the almost famous old friends of the stars
C Am
Justin is the last great romantic poet
G F
He's the only one among us who is ever gonna make it
D E
We planned the revolution from a cheap Southampton bistro
D C
I don't remember details, but there were English boys with Banjos
C Am
Jay is our St George and he's standing on a wooden chair
G F
And he sings songs and he slays dragons and he's losing all his hair
D E
And Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons
D C
In blood instead of Rhinestone and living in South London
E F
And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description
D C
But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation
D E
And Dave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the safest the girl I know
D C
And Zo and Harps will scamper off to victory in the City we call home
C
And we won't change are ways
G F
We will proud remain, when the glory fades, when the glory fades
C Am
Yeah I am sick and tired of people who are living on the b-list
G F
Yeah they're waiting to be famous, and they're wondering why they do this
D E
And I know I'm not the one who it habitually optimistic
D C
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this
C Am
Well life is about love, lost minutes and lost evening
G F
About fire in our bellies and about furtive little feelings
D E
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all flickering
D C
And they help us with remembering that the only that's thing left to do is live
Am G
After all the loving and losing, after all the heroes and the pioneers
F G C
The only thing that's left to do is get another round in at the bar.
