Title: Cathy's Clown
Artist: You Am I
Album: Hi Fi Way
Tuning: Standard: EADGBE

Capo the 2nd fret.

I play it with dropped d tuning so that that final bars sound right, but I
guess you can play it in normal tuning. The other transcription of this song is
really bad...I am sorry...it just had to be said.

(remember that the tab is relative to the capo, so the notes ate actually two
frets higher than the tab.)

INTRO
                       variation
E--------------------  (6)(7)(7)-
B-----------7--8--6--  -7--8--8-- You could even play this  
G-----------6--7--5--  -6--7--7--  with a D shaped chord
D-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--  -0-0-0-0-0  Like I've shown in the brackets.
A--------------------  ----------
D--------------------  ----------

CHORUS
(you can let the top notes ring to fill up the sound)]

E-------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--*--------0-0-0-----
B-------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--*--------2-2-3-2-0-
G-------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--*--------2-2-2-2---
D--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--*--1-1-1-2-2-2-2---
A--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------*--1-1-1-0-0-0-0---
D--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------*--1-1-1-----------


then the ending is just the D chord (which is really an E), followed by C (D),
then E (F#), then Eb (F)...a couple of times and ending with a full strum of D
(E).

Verse 1:C F Am G
The weightlifter and her laugh will take you now
Made a big decision in a magazine row
I'll open my catalogue just enough to let you in
        C                           B             C F Am G   
And she'll drop beers like you drop vitamins

Chorus:
Am                                                         F
Did you ever never want to let somebody down
Am                                                    G
Was it everything you let to be cathy's clown
 
Verse 2:C F Am G
Protein pills and a g string she left in her flat
Just enough to get you to a decimal pact
You lifted work just before your turn to work out the kids
       C                          B                 C F Am G
And she'll stock up like you'll stock vitamins

Chorus:
Am                                                         F
Did you ever never want to let somebody down
Am                                              G
Was it everything you let to be cathy's clown
B
Now she's around
