From parrott@cachuma.callutheran.edu
Blur - "Popscene" (UK Single and track 15 on US version of
"Modern Life Is Rubbish")
[Intro Part 1]
Em7
[Intro Part 2]
D F A C D A
            x2
D     F       A
A fervoured image of another world
C       D   A
Is nothing in particular now
D  F     A
And imitation comes naturally
      C     D      A
But I never really stopped to think how
D  F   A
And everyone is a clever clone
  C    D   A
A chrome coloured clone am I
D         F            A
So in the absence of a way of life
       C  D    A        A7
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Em7
Hey, hey come out tonight (x2)
Em7 Bb    D
Popscene, all right
D     F     A
I'm leaving town to run away
C         D       A
Right into your twisted arms
D    F   A
No queues and there's no panic there
     C     D        A
Just dangling your feet in the grass
D    F    A
My lack of natural lustre now
C     D    A
Seems to be losing me friends
D         F            A
So in the absence of a way of life
       C  D    A        A7
Just repeat this again and again...and again
Em7
Hey, hey come out tonight (x2)
Em7 Bb
Popscene!
(middle, then repeat intro chords with A7 at end,
then repeat chorus x2)
I'm not sure about the Bb at the end of the chorus, the magazine
I got this out of has it there, but it doesn't sound right to me.
