TCS Guitar Tabs: "Obscurity Knocks"

[INTRO]
AM7------Bm7-----AM7--------
Bm7--------------
[A]
AM7------------------------------------Bm7------------
Always at the foot of the photograph - that's me there
--------------------AM7---------
Snug as a thug in a mugshot pose....
Bm7-----------------------------------
Owner of this corner and not much more
------------AM7--------------------D----------------E----
Still these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards
-----------AM7---------------------
I'll pound out a tune and very soon
-----------D---------------------------E--------(D)
I'll have too much to say and a dead stupid name


[CHORUS](00:50)
---------A-----------D----------E-------------(D)
Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran
----A--------------D------E------------------(D)
Of "Oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"
A---------D-----------E---------------(D)
Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers
A------D----------E----------------------(D)--A
Turned 21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again


[INTRO]
Bm7----------

[A2](01:14)
Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two
Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring
In the lap of luxury it comes to mind
Is this headboard hard? Am I a lap behind?
But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself..
Is the kind of fate I never contemplate
Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind

[CHORUS](01:49)


[B](02:06)
D------------------
Know what it's like
D/G-----------------D----------------------------D/G
To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?
------Em----------------------A------------------------
Every stopped to think and found out nothing was there?

D----G-----D----G-----D----G-----

[A3](02:28)
E-----------------------AM7
They laugh to see such fun
---------------------------Bm----------D
Playing Blind Man's Bluff all by myself
------------A-----------------------------------
And they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme
E-------------------------Bm-----------D
"Ba Ba Bleary Eyes - Have you any idea?"


[CHORUS](02:47)
...
The calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered...
