The Jub-Jub Bird - by The Bluetones
-----------------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
I went to see the Bluetones last wednesday at the Astoria (I think it was the 21st).
They were brilliant live and played this particular song!
This song is really excellent, but quite hard to play in time (I can't manage!) and
sing at the same time. Then again Mark Moriss does all the singing and Adam Devlin
only does the guitar on this one, so that's how they do it! I also noticed at the
concert that Adam is a brilliant guitarist, and seeing him play, I've noticed that
most of my Bluetones Tabs are accurate, but really don't show all the notes he
plays...I just can't do it!
Nevertheless, most of the tab here is accurate. I think you just have to listen
to the record to get the timing right.

But whenever I hear your name,

A mist comes down over my eyes,

The burden of hiding my shame

It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies,

So what can I say, when confession won't take them away,
C G A
These demons inside are refusing to hide,
C E (pause) ->Play main riff, with only the bass bits
I hope against hope that they'll stay,
Verse 2: (continued for chorus)
--------
...And I'll disprove all that you've heard,
The shortcomings of all thir long words
The chattering of little birds,
Now, hormonal suppression kicks in
And I'm lost in the scent of your skin
And it feels like a left to the chiiiin.
Chorus:
-------
Dmaj7 A
But whenever the truth starts to ring,
Dmaj7 A
A mist comes down over my eyes,
Dmaj7 A
The pain and the guilt that it brings,
F#m G E E/D E/C# E
Loses faith in its host and then dies, then it dies,
Solo: This is not accurate whatsoever.
