Tabbed by Mike ([email protected]) These guys are a really awesome band. I originally heard them on Triple J and instantly fell in love. This song is basically just 4 chords the whole way through.. simple to play. If you play the trumpet, the melody's simple to figure out. There's no guitar.. but it still sounds ok... Good fun to improvise over as well.. basically have fun with it. Ok.. here's the chords: ... and that's it.. the words go a little like this... VERSE 1: Oh, I had nine lives but I lost all of them And I've been searching in the night (and so on)... And I've been searching in the rain I tried to find them, but they disappeared They walked away, they dressed in black They left my side and all I say is That I wasted time when I looked for them For now I know that things gone past Are never to be found again No never, never again I had nine lives but lost all of them... VERSE 2: I had a plan but never finished it And I've been searching for the thought And I've been searching in a haze I try all days, to remember it But now the blueprint in my mind has gone My mind forgot the colour of direction And my eyes they see the hands That could've built that could've constructed The empire in my mind The empire I'll never find I had a plan but that was where it ended....ended..... Depending on what version you have, various sections get repeated... I'm sure you can work it out.
