Great song - last track on The View's debut album, "Hat's of To The Buskers".
This is the rhythm part to the song - its more or less correct!
VERSE
EmThis is the wasteland, Cwe call this the wasteland,
AWhere fewer little posh boys can’t Bbelieve we treasure beer cans.
EmWhere’d you get those fans,
CFound them at the shop man,
APeculiar place to find them but they’re Bdedicated View fans.
You think it’s cynical to this home a miracle,
It’s not a miracle; we’re just so strangely typical,
Initiate in one gang, initiations tough man,
Imprisonment is on the cards,
We’re heading for the quick sand.
CHORUS
EMSign on the Dbrew, coz Cthere’s nothing to dBo,
EMNothing to dDo, but lisCten to yoBu,
EMNot listeninDg to you mCy parents told me noBt to.
EMNot listeninDg to you mCy parents told me noBt to.
VERSE
CHORUS X 3

VERSE

Em C

This is the wasteland, we call this the wasteland,

A B

Where fewer little posh boys can’t believe we treasure beer cans.

Where’d you get those fans,

Found them at the shop man,

A B

Peculiar place to find them but they’re dedicated View fans.

You think it’s cynical to this home a miracle,

It’s not a miracle; we’re just so strangely typical,

Initiate in one gang, initiations tough man,

Imprisonment is on the cards,

We’re heading for the quick sand.

CHORUS

EM D C B

Sign on the brew, coz there’s nothing to do,

EM D C B

Nothing to do, but listen to you,

EM D C B

Not listening to you my parents told me not to.

EM D C B

Not listening to you my parents told me not to.
