Boy Scout To The End by The Fratellis


Boy Scout To The End
Bonus Track from "Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied"

Note: As far as I can determine, the lyrics to this song are not yet
available online. I've taken my best shot at them, but the passages in
[brackets] are iffy at best. Maybe you can hear what I couldn't. 
If so, post your lyric corrections in the comments section below.

 Well, I wanna be where the bands are
        |A
 I wanna hear that chainsaw noise
    |A
 But I don't give a damn about your hopes and your dreams
            |E
 Or what the rest of the world enjoys
      |A
 Well, I've been chewing razor blades, honey
|A
 I've been chasing meat
           |A
 I've got a Salvation Army bangin' on in my head
      |E
 And a bucket of bones at my feet

            |F#m
 And there's nothin' comin' easy
            |D
 And there's witches in my bed
          |A 
 There's a face in my mind that I just can't place
        |E
 And I'm haunted by [it, Virginna said]

        |A                        |A
 And I'm tryin' to get better, and I'll be your best friend
         |A
 And I'll kiss goodbye to my evil twin
   |E                      |E     F#    G      G#  |
 On my word you can depend, . Boy Scout to the end

      |A
 Well, I wanna see in your windows
        |A
 I wanna meet your [gold dust] friends
    |A
 But I don't give a damn about the money in your bank
              |E
 On which your happiness all depends
      |A
 Well, I've been suckin' on dead air, honey
|A
 I've been chasin' wind
           |A 
 I've got a hole in my pocket where the sun don't shine
        |E
 And I'm paranoid [that of a twinned]      <--(Obviously wrong)

    |F#m
 And everythin's movin' slowly
        |D
 Like a [castle] standin' in the mud
|A
 Everybody's hangin' out for one last dance
        |E
 And I'm bringin' them one last [drug]

        |A                        |A
 And I'm tryin' to get better, and I'll be your best friend

      |A
 Well, I don't wanna be in your phone book
               |A
 Every time you call me I'll be engaged
|A
 I don't give a damn if you ever get to know me
          |E
 Or you're horrified and enraged
      |A
 Well, I've been swallowin' rusted nails, honey
|A
 I've been breakin' teeth
           |A
 I've got a bag full of tricks even I don't believe
           |E
 And I'm [a hole in my story] underneath

        |F#m
 And I'm sick and tired of bein' right
       |D
 And my heart beats once a day
          |A
 There's a hole in my head where the rain gets in
        |E
 And I'm too old to live any other way

        |A                        |A
 And I'm tryin' to get better, and I'll be your best friend

Charted by Dexex

I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist, 
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not 
intended to be taken as tabs which notate exactly how a song was played 
on a recording.
