1996 The Wombats
<i></i>The Song doesn't actually have any guitar in it until the bridge but I've tabbed the
appropriate chords for purposes such as singing along to it :)
VERSE 1 (Slight Distortion Until Bridge)
[E]I had no cares in the 19[B]90s
|-7-----------------------7---| |-9-----------------------7---| |-9-----------------------8---| |-9-----------------------9---| |-7-----------------------9---| |-------------------------7---|
[G#m]I knew of no downf[F#]alls
|-4-----------------2---| |-4-----------------2---| |-4-----------------3---| |-6-----------------4---| |-6-----------------4---| |-4-----------------2---|
[E]Though war was breaking out all around [B]me
|-7--------------------------------------7---| |-9--------------------------------------7---| |-9--------------------------------------8---| |-9--------------------------------------9---| |-7--------------------------------------9---| |----------------------------------------7---|
[G#m]My concerns were with prank [F#]calls
|-4---------------------------2---| |-4---------------------------2---| |-4---------------------------3---| |-6---------------------------4---| |-6---------------------------4---| |-4---------------------------2---|
[E]She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
|-7---------------------------7-----------------------------| |-9---------------------------9-----------------------------| |-9---------------------------9-----------------------------| |-9---------------------------9-----------------------------| |-7---------------------------7-----------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------|
[B]Right in front[G#m] of the older [F#]kids
|-7-------------4-------------2---| |-7-------------4-------------2---| |-8-------------4-------------3---| |-9-------------6-------------4---| |-9-------------6-------------4---| |-7-------------4-------------2---|
[E]Well our self belief, our self bel[B]ief
|-7---------------------7-----------7---| |-9---------------------9-----------7---| |-9---------------------9-----------8---| |-9---------------------9-----------9---| |-7---------------------7-----------9---| |-----------------------------------7---|
Wasn't sc[G#m]arred by the modern [C#]itch
|----------4-------------------[4]-x8-| |----------4-------------------[6]----| |----------4-------------------[6]----| |----------6-------------------[6]----| |----------6-------------------[4]----| |----------4-------------------[-]----|
[C#]Cos now it feels like...

CHORUS
[E]We kiss with one e[B]ye on our TV [G#m]set
|-7-----------------7------------4---| |-9-----------------7------------4---| |-9-----------------8------------4---| |-9-----------------9------------6---| |-7-----------------9------------6---| |-------------------7------------4---|
And the more I [F#]give the less I [E]get
|----------------2---------------7---| |----------------2---------------9---| |----------------3---------------9---| |----------------4---------------9---| |----------------4---------------7---| |----------------2-------------------|
Needing fairground [B]rides just to spark a [G#m]smile
|--------------------7---------------------4---| |--------------------7---------------------4---| |--------------------8---------------------4---| |--------------------9---------------------6---| |--------------------9---------------------6---| |--------------------7---------------------4---|
There's little here to [F#]miss...
|------------------------2------| |------------------------2------| |------------------------3------| |------------------------4------| |------------------------4------| |------------------------2------|
Bring back [E]1996
|------------7---| |------------9---| |------------9---| |------------9---| |------------7---| |----------------|
[B]Bring back 1[G#m]996
|-7-----------4---| |-7-----------4---| |-8-----------4---| |-9-----------6---| |-9-----------6---| |-7-----------4---|
[F#]So hard to beat those teenage kic[E]ks
|-2--------------------------------7---| |-2--------------------------------9---| |-3--------------------------------9---| |-4--------------------------------9---| |-4--------------------------------7---| |-2------------------------------------|
[B]Bring back 19[G#m]96[C#]
|-7------------4------4---| |-7------------4------6---| |-8------------4------6---| |-9------------6------6---| |-9------------6------4---| |-7------------4----------|
VERSE 2
[E]We were cloning sheep in the 19[B]90's
|-7------------------------------7---| |-9------------------------------7---| |-9------------------------------8---| |-9------------------------------9---| |-7------------------------------9---| |--------------------------------7---|
[G#m]We were building tele[F#]scopes
|-4--------------------2-----| |-4--------------------2-----| |-4--------------------3-----| |-6--------------------4-----| |-6--------------------4-----| |-4--------------------2-----|
[E]And sugar filled the whole of my bod[B]y
|-7-----------------------------------7---| |-9-----------------------------------7---| |-9-----------------------------------8---| |-9-----------------------------------9---| |-7-----------------------------------9---| |-------------------------------------7---|
[G#m]As I urged it on to gr[F#]ow
|-4---------------------2---| |-4---------------------2---| |-4---------------------3---| |-6---------------------4---| |-6---------------------4---| |-4---------------------2---|
[E]I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
|-7--------------------------7-----------------------------| |-9--------------------------9-----------------------------| |-9--------------------------9-----------------------------| |-9--------------------------9-----------------------------| |-7--------------------------7-----------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------|
[B]Just to [G#m]impress the older ki[F#]ds
|-7-------4-------------------2---| |-7-------4-------------------2---| |-8-------4-------------------3---| |-9-------6-------------------4---| |-9-------6-------------------4---| |-7-------4-------------------2---|
[E]Well my self belief, my self be[B]lief
|-7--------------------7---------7---| |-9--------------------9---------7---| |-9--------------------9---------8---| |-9--------------------9---------9---| |-7--------------------7---------9---| |--------------------------------7---|
Wasn't l[G#m]ost in the modern gli[C#]tch

On the 3rd repeat the lyrics:
"I'll never beat those teenage kicks" are sang over for the next 3 repeats
On the 6th repeat the lyrics:
"Bring back 1996" are sang
On the 7th time it's just the guitar and drums
Guitar begins to fade out gradually from the 3rd repeat
B* is a normal B just an octave higher than a usual one performed on the second fret
