HEARTLESS BASTARD MOTHERFUCKER - Frank Turner
Tabbed by guitaristu.
 
About time there was a half-decent tab for this song out there I reckon.
E/G#: 4x0400 or just hit G# bass-note from the G major chord.
 
EDIT 20-02-11 : The riff/verse chord sequence: changed my mind slightly
after seeing a youtube vid so the tab has been updated.

Well I lie I cheat and I steal

I'm a heartless bastard motherfucker
 
C C7 C/G# Fmaj7 Fm x2
 
VERSE 2
 
Well, you're a prize specimen
You look pretty fine, but I don't know where you've been
You invite me back to your place
And you feed me drinks to get me out of my face
You never own up to what you did
You fuck like an adult and you cry like a kid
And then you tell your friends I took the piss
 
CHORUS
 
F F7 C
Well, I'm not the only one who regrets the way they act
G E/G# Am Bb
But I seem to be the only one who's honest with the facts

And I'm sorry, honey, this time you're the sucker
F
I'm a heartless bastard motherfucker.

As far as I can tell we're the ones to watch are the ones with their hearts on their sleeves
F G
Make-up doth protest too much.

Don't make me regret ever writing this song -
G G7
I need every motherfucker to sing along.
 
CHORUS
