G                                 Fig 3
just one thought that i can drone
(Fig 3 - - - - - - - - )
'n harmonise, to keep it my own

well i don't know how to fix your car
G                                 Fig 2

where the stools are high and the drinks are cheap

And i can make you feel just how pretty you are
D                         Am7
Hey man, i need a line so sweet
                    C                         Em
Knocks you off your feet, keeps you here with me
D                            Am7
Just want a place to call my home
                 C2                           F     G
Compliments that run through your hair like a comb

I'm a midget in a nightclub and i can't see
the choices of the beers from the bums on the seat (?)
and the bruises round my ears are just gettin worse
From the new felt butler's hat, the watches and the purses
i've read my lines and i know the part
well sugar i just don't know where to start
cos there' somethin in your eyes that i need
to fall on through
so kick me round a bit and you'll see

Hey man i need a line so sweet
knocks you off your feet
keeps you here with me
Just want something to call my own
compliments that run though your hair like a comb

You know they write songs 'bout girls like you
it's gonna get you through it
while i do.... while i do.....

Instrumental bridge part:

Bb   G   Bb   Am7

Em   Am7   Cadd9   Em

Guitar 2: Standard tuning, no capo

Just a few licks that i managed to decipher, once again, wacth the timing.

Intro:

e---------------------
B-----------/7-/7-11--
G--/7-/7-5------------
D---------------------
A---------------------
E---------------------

"Keeps you here with me...."

e----------------------
B-----------------3----
G-----------------3----
D-------------3-5------
A------1-3-/5----------
E--1-3-----------------

"You know they write songs bout girls...." (As close as i could get, this is 
actually that xylophone part in the background)

e--------------------------------
B----11-8-----11-8-----11-8------
G--8------8-7------7-6------6-3--
D--------------------------------
A--------------------------------
E--------------------------------

Instrumental bridge: starts off playing B and G# chords, then:

e-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6--8--8--8--8-10-10-10-10-11-11-11-11
B-4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-11-11-11-11-13-13-13-13
G------------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------

                                         x7
e-12-12-12-12-15-15-15-15-----[-6-6-6-5-]--                             
B-14-14-14-14-16-16-16-16-----[-6-6-6-6-]--
G------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------

That's about it, except for a mysterious third guitar part, which seems to 
pop up every now and then, assuming it's an overdub with davey and no capo:

"Fall on through, kick me round a bit..."

e---------
B--8-/-3--
G---------
D---------
A---------
E---------
E---------

Final chorus "hey man...."
