Town Called Malice

guitar tabs lyrics

Paul Weller

A Town Called Malice by The Jam.


Tabbed By Brook Jackson


When You're playing the B chord, you need to hammer on the C note at the end of the bar,
if played from the 1st position is the G string on the 6th fret or if you play it
at the 7th fret, it will be the D string at the 11th fret.
It sounds best if you play with a capo on the 2nd fret, play all chords as normal except

E, play the D chord, Capo 2 makes an E.
Intro:
B B B B

D#m7
You'd better stop dreaming of the quiet life
C#m
cos it's the one we'll never know
D#m7
And quit running for that runaway bus
C#m
'cos those rosey days are few
E D#m7
And stop apologising for the things you've never done
F#
'cos time is short and life is cruel, but it's up to us to change

Verse 2:
D#m7
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
C#m
stand dying in the dairy yard
D#m7
And a hundred lonely housewives
C#m
clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
E D#m7
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
F#
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious in a town called
B B
malice, Yeah-eah-eah

E D#m7
Struggle after struggle, year after year

The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead in a town called

Bridge:
A#m G#m
whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
A#m G#m
Gets dashed against the Co-op

E
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
F#
It's a big decision in a town called malice.

Verse 4:
D#m7 C#m
The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track

D#m7 C#m
It's at the moment bound for nowhere, just going round and round
E
D#m7Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze
F#
I could go on for hours and I probably will, I'd sooner put some joy back in
