This World Needs A Father by Suede
This World Needs A Father
Tune down half-step
G Bm
hold on, he's coming
Em C D C D
through the wheels of the star machine
G Bm
hold on, he's coming
Em C D C D
through the tears of your shit stained dream
G
in an anthem for the world
C D
let him waltz you down the river
G
let him feel like boy or girl
C D
with his sci-fi lullaby
G C D
let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
G C D
yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
Dm G C Am
so let's have one more, for the lovers
Dm G C C7
and one more, for the friends
F Fm C Am
'cos drink to you is all i can do
F Fm D7
as life slips down, down the drain
hold on, he's coming
with the screen kissed spine of the past
hold on, he's coming
with the style of the wormwood star
sing an anthem for the world
sing a farewell for the river
if you feel like boy or girl
sing a sci-fi lullaby
let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
so let's have one more, for the lovers
and one more, for the friends
for drink to you is all i can do
as life slips down, down the drain

G/Bminor/A/Bminor/C/D/C/D
'Anthem for the world, let it waltz you down the river'
Gx2/C/D
The next change isn t picked out just strummed
'Cos drink, to you, is all I can do'
F/Fminor/C/Aminor

Ending, Ive just picked main guitar cos BB just goes mad adding tracks a la marr.
roll tone right off add fuzz, overdrive etc.
