The song has two repeated patterns
the first is
|C |F |C |G C |
the second is
|G |G |C |F |
It goes quite fast and I'm strumming syncopated down, up, down for each full bar.
C F
I can get a record player, and a generator,
C G C
and generate the music that makes you feel better.
C
I don't live in poverty,
F C G C
I got a little bit of money and I've got a healthy body.
C F
I'm not going to let stuff get me upset,
C G C
and I wont let all the little things get me depressed.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_holloways/generator_crd_ver_3.html ]
C F
When I was a young boy, I got a stereo,
C G C
and taped all the songs straight off the radio.
C F
The sounds that the bands made, and the melodies,
C G C
was all I needed to make me feel free.
G C F
Sometimes you get so low, you don't know why.
G C F
Or just a little upset all inside.
G
May I remind you,
C F
that you don't live in poverty,
G
you got your youth,
C F
and you got food in your belly?
C F
I can get a record player, and a generator,
C G C
and generate the music that makes you feel better.
From here it just repeats with slight changes in the verse and more repetition of the chorus.
This is my first tab and I'm sure its not perfect but I hope it is useful. This is how I
play along with the acoustic version of the song on the Radio 1 live lounge CD. I am
not sure about the G at all! Lyrics from lyriczz. Props to IndieSounds for his version
that I used until recently.
