2:1 Elastica (from the "elastica" album, also on "Trainspotting" soundtrack)

Tabbed here by Matthew Ginn ([email protected])

This song uses mostly power chords. I haven't tried to note The strumming rhythms, because they're pretty variable, and mostly Unimportant--just listen to the record--it's straight forward enough. (This song is played with two guitars, but I've tabbed the main parts For one. Some day, I'll tab out the other parts.)

As for the lyrics: these are the best I could make them out. I didn't Try to correlate the background vocals with the main lyrics in verse 2, just try to fit them in as you see fit. As usual, corrections are Welcome.

Chords used:

C#: x466xx A: 577xxx B: 799xxx G#: 466xxx

Standard tuning

Percussion, then bass (G# & C#'s) then:

Verse

Keeping a brave face

In circumstances is impossible,

Cannot describe

So many ... decisions,

It's impossible to know which is

The proper order,

The best position to be ... in,

Take advantage, or so it seems

the way it go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oes.
