This highlight from 1998's "The Boy With The Arab Strap" LP consists solely 
of four chords: E'-B-C#m-A. There are many variations on how to play this. 
Here are some of them:

G|----------------------------------|
D|-22222222-------------------------|}
A|---------2222222244444444---------|} play this sepuence until the end
E|-------------------------55555555-|


  alternatively......
G|------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|-1212121212121212777777779999999955555555-|


  perhaps you could put a capo over the second fret.....
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|-555555550000000022222222---------|
E|-------------------------33333333-|


Listen to the song to get the rhythm correct because the bass line is just a 
touch jerky.

Very simple, but often simplicity is best. Anyone remember "Sister Ray" by 
The Velvet Underground?? Three chords for seventeen minutes. Genius.

If anyone else likes Belle & Sebastian or anything then e-mail me at 

Thanks very much
