Suburban Boy Tab

by Dave Warner


As always constructive criticism welcomed. I have not tabbed the solo and will leave 
up to the more talented. Listen to the song for the timing of the intro. Hope you enjoy 

Suburban Boy

Intro:                
Intro riff (keyboard arranged for guitar):

I wake up every morning with no-one beside me
                                              
I wake up every morning and my mother will chide me
                   (Lick)                  
I'm just a Suburban Boy,        just a Suburban Boy
                            
Saturday night, no subway stations
                                  
Saturday night just changing TV stations
                   (Lick)                     
I'm just a Suburban Boy,           just a Suburban Boy
                    
And I know what it's like
              
To be rejected every night
                                              
And I'm sure it must be, easier for boys from the city

Repeat intro riff x2

I go to the football to cheer for my team
I go to the football just to hear myself scream
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
Sunday Session – I'm down at the hotel
Staring at girls that I don't know, well
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
And I know what it's like
To be rejected every night
And I'm sure it must be, easier for boys from the city

Repeat intro riff x2

Solo Chords

    GF     GF


I wake up every morning with no-one beside me
I wake up every morning and my mother will chide me
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
Saturday night, no subway station
Saturday night just changing TV stations
I'm just a Suburban Boy, just a Suburban Boy
And I know what it's like
I'v been rejected every night
And I'm sure it must be, easier for boys from the city

Repeat intro riff x3 to finish

          Lick after “I'm just a suburban boy”
