Note: I know there are only G-chords, that's no mistake. The song is based on this
chord, which is also the reason a D (5th on G) is played througout the entire
song: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NItwaz0nLJA, notice the tape on the
keyboard). This is also the reason I've written the chords out with only three
strings at a time, to make it sound 'dry'. Hope you like it that way.

Chorus Lyrics: (every line is for one line from the tabs)
1 Do they know those days are golden?
2 Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys!
3 One long June I came down from the trees
4 And cursed on cue. You were freshly painted angel
5 walking on walls. Stealing booze and outlawing hungry
6 kisses. Nobody knew me at home anymore
7 Build a rocket boys!
8 Build a rocket boys!

Great tab, although it’s not ‘outlawing hungry kisses’, it is ‘hour long hungry kisses’ contrary to what some of the lyrics websites say. Latter fits the song better. Really good tab though thanks.

ci - garette scent, it - cigarette senate
And cursed on cue - Kerbstone cool
You were freshly - You were a freshly
Great tab, many thanks

Pretty good but the 'Though I never per - fected that sim - i-an stroll' and respective lines should begin with 3-x-3 on D, G and H string followed by G5, Gsus2, G, Gsus2, G, Gsus4, G, Gsus2 and G.
