Turin Brakes – Average Man
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

Average man, very nice chord progression here. Fiddle around with the rhythm,
you’ll get it soon enough :)


Chords:

               
E|-2---0---0---x---2---3---
B|-3---1---0---x---3---0---
G|-4---2---0---x---2---0---
D|-4---2---2---4---0---0---
A|-2---0---2---4---0---2---
E|-2---x---0---2---x---3---

Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the
chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F#5 powerchord, I think a F#minor
also works in stead off the F#5 if you’re planning to play everything in bare.
But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F#5 was more of an indication
of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though :)


Intro:

        x 2



Verse 1:

           
  If i was a farmer

             
  Instead of a faker

           
  If i was a realer

                  
  and not just some raker

                 
  Raking through a memory

               
  that doesn't belong to me

               
  Just someone I could of been

               
  if only i kept walking...



Chorus:

              
  Have another drink my son

               
  Enjoy another cigarette

                    
  'Cos it's time you realised...

                     
you're just an average man...



Verse 2:

           
  Alone on a motorway

                   
  you catch you're breath

                
  Cat's eyes lead everyway

       
  to lonesomness

                   
  Since you learn to hide your fears

                  
  and downsize your dreams

                     
  Still alive, still sincere

         
inside the scheme...



Chorus:

              
  Have another drink my son

               
  Enjoy another cigarette

                    
  'Cos it's time you realised...

                     
you're just an average man...



Verse 3: (different chord progression)

                       
  And ff this is dark-ness here

                               
  And if this is dark-ness... coming



Chorus:

              
  Have another drink my son

               
  Enjoy another cigarette

                    
  'Cos it's time you realised...

                     
you're just an average man...
