#Verse:
#these chords are with a capo on 2nd
#
I know i need hardly say
how much i love your casual way
oh but please put your tounge away
a little higher and were well away
and so on..
best to just pick notes in these chords instead of strumming them to get the unique sound
amazing song
johnny marr is immense

#Vicar In A Tutu
# (Morrissey/Marr)
#
#Basically this song (off of the luxurious Queen Is Dead album) is all simple
#chords with that Johnny Marr touch. The E chord during the verse, for
#example, is played by stroking the high E string and then moving up with the
#stroke. It is not that difficult. Here it is:
#
I was minding my business lifting some lead off
The roof of the Holy Name Church
It was worthwhile living a laughable life
Just to set my eyes on a blistering sight
Of a vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
He just wants to live his life this way
A scanty bit of a thing with a decorative ring
That wouldn~t cover the head of a child
As Rose collects the money in the cannister
Who comes sliding down the banister
The vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
He just wants to live his life this way
The monkish monsignor with a head full of plaster
Said, -my man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned-
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
As natural as rain he dances again
Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
Oh yeah...

Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
Oh yeah…
The next day in the pulpit with freedom and ease
Combating ignorance, dust and disease
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
As natural as raihe dances again and again and again
And the fabric of a tutu
Any man could get used to
And I am a living sign
I~m a living sign….
I~m a living sign….
that is basically the song in it~s entirety…
—–so i broke into the palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said, “i know you, and you cannot sing”
i said, “that’s nothing you should hear me play piano”
-morrissey

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
by The Smiths

Transcribed by John S. Jacob (jsjacob@soda.berkeley.edu)

The lyrics are right out of the insert to “The Smiths I Best…”
Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out (strum)
the chords and sing along. I mean, aren’t these lyrics so
uplifting?! 😉

As for rhythm, I always say go find a recording — it’s much
easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to put
it into one, for that matter…)

##Capo up to the fourth fret (This song is really in the key of E).

Intro:

Take me out tonight

where there’s music and there’s people

who are young and alive

Driving in your car

I never never want to go home

because I haven’t got one

anymore

Take me out tonight

because I want to see people and I

want to see lights

Driving in your car

oh please don’t drop me home

because it’s not my home, it’s their

home, and I’m welcome no more

Chorus:

And if a double-decker bus

crashes into us

to die by your side

such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck

kills the both of us

to die by your side

the pleasure the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight

oh take me anywhere, I don’t care

And in the darkened underpass

I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last

(but then a strange fear gripped me and I

just couldn’t ask)

Take me out tonight

take me anywhere, I don’t care

Just driving in your car

I never never want to go home

because I haven’t got one

I haven’t got one

Chorus

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

verse1: chords: C – Gm – Eb – F
i was delayed i was waylaid
an emergency i stop i smelt the last 10 seconds of life
and crashed down on the crossbar
and the pain was enough to make a shy bald buddist reflect
and plan a mass murder
who said i’d lied to her
who said i’d lied because i never, i never
who said i’d lied because i never.

break: same
verse2: chords same
i was detained i was restrained
he broke my spleen he broke my knees and then he really laid in to (me)
friday night in outpatient who said i’d lied to her
who said i’d lied because i never, i never
who said i’d lied because i never.
and so i drank one it became four,
and when i fell on the floor i drank more
