LA PASTIE DE LA BOURGEOISIE By Belle & Sebastian

>From the EP '3... 6... 9... Seconds of Light' Submitted by Thelonius

You need to capo the third fret, then play the chords as if this were The original fret (ie so where I write Em you get Gm)

This is the intro:

Em, A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em

Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew

You'd stay home oh if only I'd let you

Am Em A, Em, A, Em A, Em, Em, Em Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver

And your friends are all serious ravers

Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

Reading Judy Blume

But you came too soon

You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend

They run and hide, from your buckteeth and split ends

Don't be scared of the books you've read

You're the heroine, you'll be doing fine

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Bestowing the memory of good and evil

On the ones you left behind

The heartless swine

A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em

And you love like nobody around you

How you love, and a halo surrounds you

Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

In the Autumn cool say cheerio to school

Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately

If I said all these things you would hate me

Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

At the Church bazaar I nearly went too far

Wouldn't you like to get away

Kerouac's beckoning with open arms

And open fields of eucalyptus westward bound

Wouldn't you like to get away

Give yourself up to the allure of

Catcher In The Rye

The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes

-----Last two choruses

End : Em, A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em
