I’m a Cuckoo  Belle and Sebastian

I find playing it this way easier than playing
lots of sharp and flat chords but it means tuning down one semi-tone:
[D#]This[G#] is [C#]the [F#]tab [A#]for [D#]the long version of this
song which you can hear here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr6ieHPOllo
The shorter version (the one with the video) doesnt include the 3
verses/chorus after the first verse so basically jump from the end of the
first verse to:
Im happy for you, Now I know this hurt is poison.
Anyway you can listen to that version here:

Intro: G C G C G D C G (x2 on long version)
[G]I'm glad to see you
[C]I had a funny dream
You were[Bm] wearing fu[Am]nny shoes
You were[Bm] going to a[Am] dance
You were[Bm] dressed like a punk but you wer[C]e too y[Bm]oung to[D] remember
[G]Glad to see you
[C]I'm outside the house
I'm not [Bm]thinking right[Am] today
I've [Bm]got no en[Am]ergy
I'm glad[Bm] that you w[C]ere waiting[Bm] with me
[D]Tell me all about your day
[Em]Breaking off is [D]misery
I see a [C]wilderness fo[G]r you and me
Punct[C]uated by ph[Bm]ilosophy
I’m won[D]dering how things could've been[C]
[G]I'm happy for you
[C]You've made it hard for me
I counte[Bm]d on your com[Am]pany
You were[Bm] staying with yo[Am]ur friends tonight
I'm feel[Bm]ing sorry f[C]or myself
I keep tak[Bm]ing ev[D]erything to be to be a sign
[G]I'm happy for you
[C]Now I know this hurt is poison
[Bm]Too sharp to b[Am]e bled
[Bm]I'm sitting on m[Am]y empty bed
On my em[Bm]pty bed
At [C]night th[Bm]e fe[D]ver grows it's pounding pounding
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/belle_and_sebastian/im_a_cuckoo_crd_ver_3.html )
[Em]I'd rather be i[D]n Tokyo
Id rathe[C]r listen to[G] Thin Lizzy-oh
Watch th[C]e Sunday gang in[Bm] Harajuku
There's [D]something wrong [C]with me, I'm a [G]cuckoo
G C G C G D C G x 2
[G]Scary moment,[C] lovin' every moment
I was[Bm] high from playing [Am]shows
We lost [Bm]a singer to her [Am]clothes
My t[Bm]rouble raised its ug[Am]ly head
I was re[Bm]vealed
And I wa[C]s home in bed
[Bm]I was a [D]kid again
[G]Jesus told me, g[C]o after every coin
Like it [Bm]was the last in t[Am]he world
And prot[Bm]ect the wayward [Am]child
But I'm [Bm]a little lost sheep
I need m[C]y Bo peep
I know I need my[Bm] Shepherd here t[D]onight
[Em]Breaking off is [D]misery
I see a [C]wilderness fo[G]r you and me
Punct[C]uated by ph[Bm]ilosophy
Im wonde[D]ring how things [C]could've b[G]een
Middle 8: C A D B Em__ A D
[C]I’d like to see you
[C]But really I should stay away
And[Bm] let you sett[Am]le down
I've got[Bm] no claims to yo[Am]ur crown
I was th[Bm]e boss of you
And I lo[C]ved you
You know[Bm] I loved you
[D]It's all over now
[G]I was there for [C]you
When you were lonely
I was th[Bm]ere when you wer[Am]e bad
I was th[Bm]ere when you wer[Am]e sad
Now it's[Bm] my time of need
I’m thinkin[C]g, do I have [Bm]to plea[D]d to get you by my side?
[Em]I'd rather be in[D] Tokyo
Id rathe[C]r listen to[G] Thin Lizzy-oh
Watch th[C]e Sunday gang in[Bm] Harajuku
There's [D]something wrong [C]with me, I'm a cuckoo
