Stereophonics

In two of the verses there is a part in which the hammer-on and pull-off effect takes action just like in the Intro section.  These parts are marked by an asterisk (*) next to the chord (listen to the track to hear what I'm on about).

Verse 1:

                              C
            We all face the same way

                             Am
            Still it takes all day

                             F/E
            Take a look to my left

                                     C
            Pick out the worst and the best

                            C (*)
            She paints her lip

                     Am
            Greasy and thick

                             F/E
            Another mirror stare

                             Dsus2    C (*)  
            And she's going where?



Verse 2:

           (Same chords and rhythm as Verse 1)

                               
            Another office affair

            To kill an unborn scare?

            You talk dirty to a priest

            Makes you human at least

            Is she running away

            To start a brand new day?

            Or she going home?

            Why's she driving alone?



Chorus 1:

                F/E    Dsus2 C
             Is anyone going anywhere?

             F/E        Dsus2    C        Am   F/E   C
             Everyone's gotta be somewhere



Verse 3:

           (Same chords and rhythm as Verses 1 and 2)


            She got a body in the boot
   
            Or just bags full of food?            

            Those are models legs

            But are they womens are they mens?

            She shouts down the phone 

            Missed a payment on the loan

            She gotta be above the rest

            Keeping up with the best



Chorus 2:

                F/E    Dsus2 C
             Is anyone going anywhere?

             F/E        Dsus2    C        Am   F/E   C
             Everyone's gotta be somewhere



Bridge:

           G   F/E   {x2}

           F/E   C



Verse 4:

           (Same chords and rhythm as Verses 1, 2 and 3)


            Waits tables for a crook?

Wrote a hard back book?

You teach kids how to read?

Or sell your body on the street?

A nurse without a job?

Another uptown snob?

But have I got you all wrong?



Chorus 3:


                F/E    Dsus2 C
             Is anyone going anywhere?

                F/E    Dsus2 C
             Is anyone going anywhere?    

                F/E    Dsus2 C
             Is anyone going anywhere?

             F/E        Dsus2    C        Am   F/E   C
             Everyone's gotta be somewhere



Outro:

          C   Am   F/E   C   {x4}
