Big John Shaft Chords & Lyrics by Belle and Sebastian
Big John Shaft
guitar chords lyrics
Fixed a few wrong chords, missing chords, and capo placement
from the other version. Should be capo 3, not 2 as the other tab says.
And the Bb chord in the other tab should be G. I also added
a guitar version of the piano.

Capo fret 3
Cmaj7=X32000 C7=X32310
intro: C F x4
C F
I'll make another movie
C F
The same one as the year before
C F
Take a tired idea
C C Cmaj7 C7
Put it in the hands of Hol-ly-wood
F
I need to talk to someone
C
I've been living someone else's life
G F
I don't get no mail at my house anymore
C
My manager's my bride
C F
I'm leaving on a jet plane
C F
I'll see my baby soon enough
C F
I won't take her to the movie
C C Cmaj7 C7
I'm worried that the lines become all blurred
F
I couldn't help but feeling something
C
When the boss told us to act that way
G F
I'm ashamed of my profession
C
I would do the same again
C F
I'll make another movie
C F
Same one as the year before
C F
I'm looking for a story
C C Cmaj7 C7
Something ludicrous to come up from the street
F
I won't play another heavyweight
C
I won't play another Big John Shaft
G F
Put me in a frock and leave me recite
C
Maybe my career will die
Here�s a few ways I like to add color to this by incorporating
some of the bass and piano line.
All numbers relative to a capo on 3
\ indicates downsrum. / indicates up.
this way for a brighter sound
C \ \/ \ F \ /\ \ C
---0---------------1----------------0---|
---1---------0h1---1----------0h1---1---|
-0-0-------0-------2--------------0-0---| repeat
---2-------------3-3--------3-------2---|
---3---------------3----------------3---|
-------------------1--------------------|
Or this way for more of a bass thing
C \ \/ \ F \ /\ \ C
---0---------------1----------------0---|
---1---------------1----------------1---|
---0---------------2----------------0---| repeat
---2---------------3----------------2---|
---3---------2h3---3----------2h3---3---|
-3---------3-----1-1--------1-----3-----|
