Grounds For Divorce by Elbow
Grounds For Divorce
The lead and rhythm guitar parts are pretty much the same, here's a tab.
Most of the rhythms are pretty clear in the song but here are some rough guidelines.
There are a lot of 3/4 step bended notes.
Bends are signified with a ^.

until the chorus riff comes in at 3:01 which is the same as last time.
After that, Guy sings "Someday we'll be drinking with The Seldom Seen Kid" and the other
is played twice, finishing there.
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
I've been working on a cocktail called Grounds for Divorce
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleep
Whoah
Doubt comes in on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah
There's a Chinese cigarette case
And the rest you can keep
And the rest you can keep
And the rest you can keep
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
Oooo
Oooo
There's this whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound
To a chorus of supposes from the little town hoods
There'll be twisted karaokee at the aniseed lounge
And I'll bring you further roses
But it does you no good
And it does me no good
And it does you no good
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall
Someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid
Oooo

It basically goes E D A through the whole song FYI
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
I've been working on a cocktail called Grounds for Divorce

Whoah

Whoah

To a chorus of supposes from the little town whores
There'll be twisted karaokee at the Aniseed lounge
And I'll bring you further roses
But it does you no good
