I'm A Cuckoo Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Belle And Sebastian
I'm A Cuckoo
Belle & Sebastian

This is an alteration of the previous version on here, which was great but a few chords 
wrong. This should work better. It's easier to play if you tune down a semitone (see 
at the bottom). Hope you enjoy :-)

At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku

There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

Scary moment, lovin' every moment
     A#m			G#m
I was high from playing shows

We lost a singer to her clothes

My trouble raised its ugly head

I was revealed

And I was home in bed

I was a kid again


F#		B
Jesus told me, go after every coin
	A#m		 G#m
Like it was the last in the world

But I'm a little lost sheep

I need my Bo peep
  		A#m		C#
I know I need my Shepherd here tonight

Breaking off is misery
	B	     F#
I see a wilderness for you and me

And a wondering how things could've been

F#
I'd like to see you
B
But really I should stay away
   A#m		G#m
And let you settle down
	A#m		G#m
I've got no claims to your crown
	A#m
I was the boss of you
	B
And I loved you
        A#m
You know I loved you
C#
It's all over now


F#		B
I was there for you
When you were lonely
	A#m		G#m
I was there when you were sad
	A#m		G#m
I was there when you were bad
	A#m
Now it's my time of need
	   B		A#m	C#
I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?
