Belly Of June Chords & Tabs
-----
*So, this is my first submission here. I LOVE this band. I'm fairly confident about
these chords, based on seeing it played live (online) and in the music video. I got the
lyrics from a website, but they seem accurate enough to me. I hope you enjoy it (and
please correct what you think is wrong!)
-----
The basic chord progression is G, Fmaj7, C. Later I believe it changes for one little
bit to to Dm, Am, C, G.
You can play around with the strumming of the G chord to occasionally lift off the 5th
string, playing a Gadd9 sort of chord.

Please won't you leave her alone.

She's telling you boy, you don't know when to go.

She's had enough she sadly sung:
Fmaj7 C G
"We're no longer young, we're lazy and lithe,
Fmaj7 C
and our age makes us dumb.
