*** Coffee + TV ***
By : Marco Gegenheimer (m_gegenheimer@hotmail.com)
and Danny Parrott (fparrott@mail.geocities.com)
This intro is almost as the one 13:
e/----------------------
B/----------------------
G/-----5-----7-10-12-9--
D/---5---7-8------------
A/-5--------------------
E/----------------------
In the song there are a few guitar fills:
GUITAR FILL 1:
e/-----------------
B/-----------------
G-4-4-4-6-11-9-----
GUITAR FILL 2:
e/-----------------
B/-12-10-9-5-------
G/-----------------
Graham play some strange chords during the verses. I saw the chords in a
live gig that I recorded. But I'll write 13 after the chords. Here they are
in the right order:
B13: (76x8xx)
A13: (54x6xx)
E: (022100) Actually, Graham plays the part Danny Parrott has tabbed
Instead of an E.
G13: (32x4xx)
F: (133211) Play with a low thumb. Graham often plays the bar chords with
a low thumb.
A#13:(65x8xx)
C#: (x46664)
He doesn't play this order all the way during the song.
When you play the first two "13" chords then bend the G string a little.
But I think he uses some sort of pedal that makes that "bending" sound.
Because he doesn't bend the G-string when he plays the song.
Verse 1:
B
Do you feel like a chain store?
A E
Practically floored
G F
One of many zeros
A# C#
Kicked around bored
B
Your ears are full, but you're empty
A E
Holding out your heart
G F
To people who never really
A# A
Care how you are (GUITAR FILL 1)
(Chorus)
C#m
So give me Coffee & TV
B A (Graham plays B13)

C#m

E
I'm going blind
A B(B13)
And I'm braindead virtually
C#m
'Cos Sociability
B(B13) A
It's hard enough for me
(GUITAR FILL 2)
C#m E
Take me away from this big bad world
A D
And agree to marry me
A
So we can start over again
Verse 2:
B
Do you go to the country?
A E
It isn't very far
G F
Those people there will hurt you
A# C#
'Cos of who you are
B
Your ears are full of the language
A E
There's wisdom there you're sure
G F
'Til the words start slurring
A# A
And you can't find the door (GUITAR FILL 1)
