Ah! They don't make them like this anymore, a good old rock'n'roll tune with not
one, but TWO lovely guitar solos to master... ENJOY!
intro: A - F#m G (x8, bass enters 3rd time, keyboards enter 5th time,
drums enter 7th time)
A F#m G
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
A F#m G
Bitching 'bout the things we'd be
A G F#m
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had
E G F#m
My oh my it wasn't so bad
E G F#m
When we had that to loosen our minds
E F#m
Hey little baby in the front row, be kind
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
G A F#m G
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching
A F#m G
Bitching 'bout the Windsor C
A F#m G
Bitching 'bout the Western Sea
A G F#m
Why can't you all be like a Grainger man?
E G F#m
Or even a Pheland man?
E G F#m
I'll tell you what we'll meet in Amsterdam
E F#m
And then you'll see what should be really can
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
G A F#m G
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching, that's what I'm talking about
Got anything to say? No? Well, shut up...
guitar solo (repeat chords A - F#m G, listen to the recording to get the bends
right, he mainly bends the notes a semitone upwards):
A F#m G
There's a place with a lot of eyes
A F#m G
Strange smoke perfume around the peacock guys
A G F#m
And the girls, they move their heat
E G F#m
To the impulsive, compulsive beat
E G F#m
But that's another place, another time
E F#m
Maybe we'll meet there in quite a short while
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
G A Bm C#m
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching
D Bm C#m
I really don't know what to say
D Bm C#m
That's gonna happen to us all one day
D C#m D
And when it does you can have me too
E
But until then I really don't know what to do
F#m
I'm just gonna keep on
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
G A F#m
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
G A F#m G
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching
ends on keyboard chord of A, which slowly fades out.
