Navy Taxi Tab

by Kate Nash


version to put on here.
This is intended as more of an acoustic thing, maybe using two guitars, easy
enough to figure out what to do.
Feel free to make any comments or corrections. (First ever tab!) Unless it's about
the lyrics, they're from a website.]

Rain spat in my face, thanks a lot mate
                             
And I lost a tenner on the way
                               
Thinking about it, did I spend it last night
                                             
When I was drunk and I wanted to get more drunk

                
Missed the train, thanks a lot mate
                                              
   
I didn't want to be late today, cause I'm always late
                            
And I really hate always being late
                                          
And now the other train is delayed... great.


                           
Carrying bags and a navy taxi man said
           
"Take your time love
                            
'Cause you don't have to rush
                                                      
'Cause it's your life and it's no one else's, sweetheart
                                    
Don't let someone put you in a box."

                                             
So I take all that other stuff that I said before
                     
And I'm gonna make it work
                                                  
          
'Cause I'm losing my mind and it's driving me up the wall
                     
So I tried to help you carry your shopping
                          
But I wasn't concentrating, I was talking
                                                            
And I got it caught on the side of this thing and it split
                                                        
And I'd try to help you walk along but I'd probably end up pushing you over
                                             
But don't worry, I'll never let you fall

                                    
And I'm stubborn and I shout and I'll cut you out
                                                
           
And I'll make you feel like I never wanted to make you feel

                                    
And I'm stubborn and I shout and I'll cut you out
                                                
           
And I'll make you feel like I never wanted to make you feel


                           
Carrying bags and a navy taxi man said
           
"Take your time love
                            
'Cause you don't have to rush
                                                      
'Cause it's your life and it's no one else's, sweetheart
                                    
Don't let someone put you in a box."

                                              
So I take all that other stuff that I said before
                       
And I'm gonna make it work
                                                   
               
Because I'm losing my mind and it's driving me up the wall

(This part is played 9 times)
             
And this time, it will be different,
          
This time, it will be different.

[End on Am]

[As the chords are being played, the second guitar (maybe even a bass?) could play
a part for each individual chord.]

[Throughout the song, there is a C that I am unsure as to whether should be played as a 
or a G, I tabbed it as a C because I personally prefer it but I could be wrong.
Well anyway, my first tab, hope you enjoy and please rate and/or comment!]
