Francis: Standard Tuning

I have BASED this tablature on the live
version that can be found on Youtube.
Although Rick fill in between the words most of the time,
I have written down how he would play the chords.


Ricky has this little riff that goes:


D|-19-17-14-12-10-|
B|-17-15-12-10-8--|
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
G|----------------|

Main-On the record a C is played at the beginning of the verse.
Live, he misses it out:

C
Oh Oh Oh Oh (Oh Oh Oh Oh)
F
The waters gettin deep
G F
And I can't swim
G F G
'Cos its dirty dirty water
C F C G
Oh Oh Oh Oh (Oh Oh Oh Oh)

C G C
Many's the time I ask you to say
C G C F
Why do you feel so bad day to day
C F
Could it be you're wrong
C
To push yourself along
F
I say it's not a guess

You make yourself a mess
D G
And get yourself in deeper water


Bass comes in playing the root note twice to each chord.

C G C
Why do you think it's all wrong for you
C G C
Maybe it's in somethings that you do
F C
Baby, it's alright
F C
To stay up every night
F
If I could change your mind
F
I'd bring you back in line
D G
To do the things you really oughta


Whole band in full swing...

Bass does something like this:
C

G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|-3-3---3-3------------------|
E|-----3-----3---1-1-1--1-1-1-|Etc.


C F
Oh oh oh oh the water's getting deep
G F
And I can't swim
G
If I could can I come in?
F G C F
Oh Oh Oh Oh the water's getting deep
G F
And I can't swim
G F
Because it's dirty, dirty water
C F
Oh Oh Oh Oh
C G
Oh Oh Oh Oh

The odd 7th chord appears on the track.
They don't always play it live though.
This tab is a good mixture of the two.
E-mail me if you want me to put it into bars for you.
