#It’s A Beautiful Thing with Ocean Colour Scene
#This how I think It’s A Beautiful Thing is played. I think it sounds quite
#right.
#If you disagree you could always mail me at oscar.widegren@nykoping.com.
#I don’t have the end (main-part :D) of the song tabbed.

Sonny went and flipped away and said he had to go
How can you ever say he never stayed alone
And how could I belong with anyone you know
C’mon every lines a line I’ll never know
Oh Oh Oh It’s a beautiful thing
Oh Oh Oh It’s a terrible thing
Sometimes I can get along alone enough
Backing everyone away and never have enough
And how could I be playing every line for you?
Look at the things today that I can never choose
Oh Oh Oh It’s a beautiful thing
Oh Oh Oh It’s a terrible thing
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
And how could I be playing every line for you?
Look at the things today that I can never choose
Oh Oh Oh It’s a beautiful thing
Oh Oh Oh It’s a terrible thing x4
>From this part I have nothing tabbed except the bass that
is playing under almost the whole bit:

E-5-5--5-5--5-4-3-3--3-3--3-4- and over again.

Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn’t have any if I’d only known where they’d been
And I wanna make things a part of my life
And I wanna see that things are going to be right
But if you can’t even stand on your feet
And if you don’t own the air that you breathe
Then it’s not for me to say
But I wouldn’t live that way
And I wouldn’t stand apart
And I wouldn’t find the real
And I wouldn’t play a part
And I wouldn’t find in love
So misguided by some fool
And just what I’m trying to say
Makes my head spin round the room
And I wanna make things a part of my life
And I wanna see that things are going to be right
But if you can’t even stand on your feet
And if you don’t own the air that you breathe
Then it’s not for me to say
But I wouldn’t live that way
And I wouldn’t stand apart
And I wouldn’t find the real
And I wouldn’t play a part
And I wouldn’t find in love
So misguided by some fool
And just what I’m trying to say
Makes my head spin round the room

______________________________________________________________________

Sonny [Bb/A]signed his name up for tomorrow
And laughed with all of his friends
Eb Dm Cm F D
At all the little men who borrow tunes
They heard just yesterday
Davey g[Bb/A]ot us down but we got away
And drank to all the days
Eb Dm Cm F
That we just whiled away
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase

Chorus:
And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
(when your friends go away, on last chorus)

And up in your room your walls are cold

You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better day

And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away

And up in your room

Your walls are getting colder

Like you’re getting on a roller coaster
You can’t find the breaks

Stevie [Bb/A]burned the sky when he flew away
And left us things to say
Eb Dm Cm F
When all the world was falling down
Around our shoulders; cold and grey
Harry [Bb/A]carried on in his usual way
And Minnie went inside
Eb Dm Cm F
And came out once and we both cried
And Minnie blew my head away

(Repeat Chorus)

When you’re giving everything away
Everybody lets you pray
You’re saving up for a better day
Seeing things in a better way
When you know you’ve got to live
There’s nothing you won’t give
To hear the phone and not let it ring
Every mon-[Bb/A]day mo – [F+11]or – ning

Eb Dm Cm F D/F# F

Shughie [Bb/A]found love and he almost cried
We laughed and wondered why
Eb Dm Cm F
We loved the sky and found the space
And gazed out over Stevie’s plane

(Repeat Chorus)

[Bb/A]
(end) F Bb

Tabbed by: John Morris

CHORDS:

DENOTES 1 BAR(4/4 TIME)

I think everybody’s after me
They want to know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody’s standing on my toes
Telling the world what I should know
You said you’d seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door
Thank you for always being there
And all the nights in which we shared
D C G(with quick changes to C)
And we know we’re always there
If it ever gets you down
You know I’ll always be around
Cos too much just ain’t enough
We - we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We don’t mind the prying eyes
We don’t mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write

Song: Hundred Mile High City
Performed by: Ocean Colour Scene
Transcribed by: Madeley (rewire@globalnet.co.uk)
The chords in the song are right, but I had to be creative
with the tabbed bits (i.e. I made them up as I went along)
The lyrics are a bit dodgy too.

So I said, I’m on a roll, so I need a car
And I know that I’m staying alive
And I say I’ve got faith in a season
And I say, it’s where I’m going to

I get a need and I want you to please it
I got a face and I want you to see it
The more I see is the more that I need it
The more I need is the less I believe it

Well I want a good love on my side
Keep on getting my love and my pride
But I know I keep hurting my love, yeah
And I know they ain’t killing

So I said, I’m on a roll, so I need a car
And I know that I’m staying alive
And I say I’ve got faith in a season
I know it’s where I’m living in

Song: Travellers Tune
By: Ocean Colour Scene
Transcribed by: Nick Law (plaw@enterprise.net)

Hey all – These are the chords to Travllers Tune on the Marchin’ Already
album. There are two versons of this song. One was from THE DAY WE CAUGHT THE
TRAIN (Acoustic) single, and this one which features PP Arnold. This verson is
much better though. If anyone went to see them on the tour Marchin’ Already,
mail me sometime to chat about OCS.

Chords Used:

------------

G (320033)
Gsus4 [(355422)](330033) – This chord is played on the piano (listen to the song to

understand)
[(133211)]
Em [(244322)](022000)
D (xx0232)

Intro: (piano) G G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4

Verse 1:

-------

Where did you go – buttoned in your favorite coat
Steppin’ out to a differnet world – and I might be home late
Where are you now – stairing at your favorite box
The one with the travellers cross – on the road passed the gate

Chorus:

------

But if you find yourself standing on the corner whilst you’re thinking of a
differnet world

Then you might see me waiting on the corner stairing through you in your
different world

Verse 2:

--------

And if I could swim – I’d go out and find my boat
Sail away to my favorite coast – and let you all in
And if I could do – all the things your asking for
Then maybe I’d find your door – and bring it home to you

Chorus:

-------

Guitar solo: (Chords as verse)

------------

Chorus:

-------

Verse 3:

-------

So where do we go – like two Christophers in the snow
Yeah, am I only one to know – just to say I love you
And all of our lives – we’ll sail through the suns and moons[-]
Just to sing our travellers tune – and to say I love you

Chorus: (Play twice)

--------------------

Outro:

------

Chords as chorus end end on F

I hope this has helpped you. In verse 3 – it might not sound right but believe
me it is. I’ll post the TAB for the song some other time so if you wanna chat
about OCS or anything – mail me at:
