Reward Tabs

(ver. 1)
Teardrop Explodes
REWARD by THE TEARDROP EXPLODES

This song is almost completely played by only the bass, horns and keyboard so there's hardly
 any actual chords.  So I've just tabbed the bass parts out and written the implied chords
 (shown in brackets) The verse alternates between implying D5 and Dm7.  Sometimes the keyboard
 definitely plays D5 (xx023x) then a guitar or trumpet comes in with Dm7 over the top.


Main bass and keyboard riff (played throughout verses)
 
 (D5)

(D5)
Bless my cotton socks I’m in the news
The king sits on his face buttons all askew
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can’t have it
You can’t have it
I can’t have it too

Until I learn to    ac - cept my re-ward

(D5 w/main riff)
Princes stand in queues they stand accused
Death in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same

Silence has it
Arrogance has it 
I can have it ooh
Until I
