Dirty Pretty Things – BURMA
Quality Tune……Quality Album……Quality Band
I’m Not taking credit for working out these chords someone posted them on the official
pretty things forum.....thanks to them.
C Am
I know that you’re out there
Dm G
Born ready, but on the decline
C Am
To keep you from my thoughts
Dm G
When we first broke the line
C Am
Do you remember like I remember?
Dm
Lost pursuits of excellence
G
The glory of the crowd
C
Lives of imperialists
Am
Leave me with aching wrists
Dm
So no wonder you frown
G
When you’re two world wars down
F
So when the dark times come
C
Well I will sing you a good time song
F
I’m pretending that it’s ending
C
But it kills me to act so strong
F
Just to gaze in your eyes
G# G
Makes all the difference to me.
C Am Dm G

Just be ready my angel
Be ready when I call
I’ve been re reading letters
They were moving warm but bitter
And I cried right through them all
Oooh ooooh
The days go so slow
Ooooh oooh
We’ll never get to heaven with the artillery in tow
F C
So when the dark times come
It might warm your heart to know
That I went to the crossroads
But the devil never showed
F G# G
They can stick their war, I’m leaving now
Makes all the difference to me
Em Am
I’m hoping if you know where I am
Em Am
Send your heart in a telegram
Em Am
I’m praying that you know where I am
C Am Dm
Be upstairs ready my angel
Be ready when I call
And then my angel I’ll be ready too
And I will catch you when you fall
Do you remember like I remember
All the dirty things you said?
Do you remember like I remember
Or was it all in my head?
F C
So when the dark times come
Well I will song you a good time song
I’m pretending that it’s ending
But it kills me to act so strong
F G# G
To gaze in your eyes
Makes all the difference to me
So
C Am Dm G
Who’s got the clap
Who’s got the clap
Give yourself a clap now
