First tab written down properly, so it's a bit scratchy. Seems like a lot of chords,
but once you figure it out it's all simple progressions and patterns, nice and easy :)
Am working on tabbing the lead, but will take a while as I'm only a rhythm guitarist.
Anything you spot wrong, or tips to give me, email me at finn.dan@gmail.com

[Verse]
 
D                      F#
  Well, now then Mardy Bum
               G
I've seen your frown and it's like
F#m              Em
looking down the barrel of a gun
    A       D
And it goes off
                       F#
And out come all these words
              G             F#m
Oh, there's a very pleasant side to you
  Em                       A
A side I much prefer, it's one that
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G*                  A
  Laughs and jokes around
         D              A
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah
   Bm                               G*
To get things off the ground and it was
            A
up, up and away
             D             A
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
   Bm
on a day like today when you're
G*                   A                         (D)
all    argumentative   and you've got the face on
 
| D      | F#     | G   F#m  | Em      A |
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                      F#
  Well, now then Mardy Bum
           G        F#m
Oh, I'm in trouble again
Em          A          D
aren't I? I thought as much.
                       F#
Coz you've turned over there
             G           F#m
Pulling that silent disappointment face
    Em                           A
The one that I can't bear. Well, can't we
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
G*                     A
  Just laugh and joke around?
         D              A
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah
   Bm                               G*
To get things off the ground and it was
            A
up, up and away
             D             A
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
   Bm
on a day like today when you're
G*                   A                         (F#5)
all    argumentative   and you've got the face on.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F#5                         G5
  And yeah, I'm sorry I was late
                 F#5                              G5
But I missed the train and then the traffic was a state
               F#5                         G5
And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate that reoccurs
             F#5                               G5
Oh, when you say I don't care, but of course I do
                A5
Yeah, I clearly do.

[Chorus 3]
 
G*                   A
  So laugh and joke around
         D              A
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah
   Bm                               G*
To get things off the ground and it was
            A
up, up and away
             D               A
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
   Bm
on a day like today when you're all  (Break - wait a bar)
G*                A                         D
    argumentative   and you've got the face on.
