Blur, bugman.
  
Bugman: 
Intro:    

                
 I am an ex offender 

                         
They let me out in the summer 

                     
I think I was in a coma 

                        
I didn't know what to do
  
Oh no 

Chorus:

                         
You go hang around go round 

 I'll watch myself hang on
                           
Look out for the Bugman 

                          
You go hang around around 

 I'll watch myself hang on
N. 
Look out for the Bugman

Verse 2:


                       
 I got no sent of existence 

                     
I know the nodding dogs

                  
 I go out in the city
 
                       
I stay away from the bugs
  
 Oh yeah 

Chorus:

                         
 You go hang around go round 

 I'll watch myself hang on
                           
Look out for the Bugman
                           
You go hang around around
 
 I'll watch myself hang on
 N.                     
 Look out for the B-u-u-ugman 

SOLO THING:

This is played on 2 guitars on the recorded version, but can also be played 
on 1 if your good enough.

Guitar 1 strums an Bb once and slide down four times

guitar 2 plays around with this scale with very fast tremelo picking, heres
the scale:

E-22-19------------------------    E-20-17------------------------
B-------22-19------------------ or E-------20-17------------------ 
G-------------20-18------------    E-------------19-17------------

    


    
 I go out in the city

     
I stay away from the bugs
  
Oh yeah
 
    
 na na na na na oh oh... 

Graham plays some minor cords underneath all that fuzz that go something like this:
               
Bbm :x  x  x  15 14 13
f#m :x  x  x  11 10 9
G#m :x  x  x  13 12 11

the bass for the outro goes;

-6-6-6-4-6-6-6-4-6-6-6-4-6-2-3-4-  (x2)

-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4

E-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4-3-2--

A-------4s/6---------4s/6---------4s/6--------6-4--
E-2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6------   (x2)

-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4

A-------4s/6---------4s/6---------4s/6--------6-4--
E-2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6------   (x2)

A-------4s/6---------4s/6-
E-2s/6---------2s/6-------

For the end bit after the sort of bass solo alex changes between:

this riff:
-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4-

And this riff:

A-------4s/6-
E-2s/6-------

and graham plays this on his guitar:

D------------4-6------------4---------
A------4-4-6----------4-4-6---6-6p4---
E-4s/6-----------4s/6---------------6-

if you hadn't guessed damon is singing;

space is the place x repeat to fade

however as far as i know he dosn't sing it on the live version.
