Artist: Gomez
Song: Whippin' Piccadilly  
Album: Bring It On!
                         
Well, I thought I'd better pay a tribute to the best thing to come out of Southport since
Marc Almond........    
This song has a pretty strange rhythm, mostly upstrokes. I'm too rubbish to tab it accurately, so you'll have to listen to the song.

VERSE 1:
  
   F# G G#
         Once upon a time, not too long ago,
                        C#
   We took a day out in Manchester.
      G#
   We all fall down,
           B          C#       G#       
   There's not enough hours in our day.
   
VERSE 2:
   
   F# G G#
         Played a bit of football, fell into the union,
                     C#
   Barged our way to the toilet.
            G#
   With the Kung Fu king,
           B          C#       G#       F# G G# [stop]
   There's not enough hours in our day.
   
   
   Kind of Bridge bit:
   
   Some really weird interlude here, then back to same chord progression
   
   
VERSE 3:

   I remember seeing someone, dressed in a suit,
   Looking like a lunatic.
   And we all fall down,
   There's not enough hours in our trip.
   
   
   VERSE 4:
   
   Well Academy coffee, is breaking your hands,
   We got lovely posters to sell.
   We all fall down,
   There's not enough hours in our day.
   
      CHORUS:
   
   F# G G#
         We like lovin' yeah,
   F# G G#
         And the wine we share.
   F# G G#
         We like lovin' yeah,
   F# G G#                       F# G G# [stop]
         And the wine we share.

   
   [weird interlude here, then the guitar starts playing G# F# a few times. You can
    hear a slide guitar playing this:]
   
   / = slide up
  
        G#       F#
   E|-2/4--------2----|
   B|-2/4--------2----|
   G|-----------------|
   D|-----------------|
   A|-----------------|
   E|-----------------|
   
      VERSE 5:
   Finally made our way back to the train,
   Rolling into Sheffield tonight.
   And it all falls down,
   There's not enough hours in our life.
   
   VERSE 6:

   Try and guess my weight, wait at the station,
   Whippin'  Piccadilly tonight.
   And it all falls down,
   There's not enough hours in our life.
   
   CHORUS:
   We like lovin' yeah,
   And the wine we share.
   We like lovin' yeah,
   And the wine we share.
