Badly Drawn Boy
Once Around The Block

I think this is the right tab for the cool guitar bit, this is
my first tab so sorry for any mistakes. The timing
should not be too hard to work out if you listen to the track.

7p5 means play fret7, pull off to 5.
5h7 means play fret 5, hit 7.

Am -x02210
Em -022000
F  -133211
G  -320003 OR 355433

Use these chords througout the whole song, they just repeat.
It should be easy to work out from listening to the song.
This is just a simple version, nothing fancy...

Am Em F G x8

1.
Am                Em        F
You quiver like a candle on fire
G
I'm putting you out
Am           Em         F              G
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout
Am           Em            F           G
But I'm fascinated by your style
Am           Em             F          G
Your beauty will last for a while


Am Em F G x2


2.(Same as 1)
You're feeling instead of being
The more that I live on the inside
There's nothing to give,
I'm infatuated by your moves
I'm got to search out for your clues


3.(Same as 1)
I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift that I store from, just wanting to live
Now I see the vision through your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise


4.(Same as 1)
Trying to outrun your fear
Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve
And your soul in your shoes
Take a left, a sharp left
And another left, meet me on the corner
And we'll start again. 

 Badly Drawn Boy - Once Around the Block
Tabbed by Kenny (vuhc@uci.edu) June 2, 2002

This is a really simple song, and it sounds great.  There have been a couple other
postings for it, but they don't sound quite right, but here is how my ears hear
it.

Just three chords, standard tuning.  If you've got it, a wah effect comes close to
what BDB's got.


Intro

Dm  Bb  Bb  C ( Repeat 4 times)


then come in with the melody on the lead with the same chords(check out other tabs for this)

Dm          Bb        Bb           C
Quiver like candle on fire...


... and on and on for the rest of the song.  The rhythm can get a little tricky, but once you
get it, it's the same for the whole darn thing
