The Fratellis - Acid Jazz Singer Tabs

[Verse 1]

A
Well let me tell you something let me tell you so

This could be the one thing that you really need to know
           D
You got to stop once in a while
                    A
And shake off that face of yours
       F#                       C#
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
F#                                 C#                 E
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister


[Verse 2]

       A
Well I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
           D                                                     A
She said "Don't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulously
   F#                                C#
I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
             F#                             C#                E
I said "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke oh sister"


[Chorus]

          A
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          D
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
A
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
E
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
D                                               A
Me I only knew her as an acid jazz singer come on

[Verse 3]

      A
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be
          D                                               A
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
              F#                            C#
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
          F#                            C#              E
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister


[Chorus]

          A
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          D
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
A
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
D                                                  A
Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer come on
