Matinee

MATINEE
Franz Ferdinand 
Tabbed by Martin Jones

In the song itself, there’s no real acoustic or rhythm guitar as such,
but these chords seem to do the trick.

The intro was tabbed by some guy called Gerner on another site.

Verse 1

   C#m                 B     F#m
      Take your white finger,   slide the nail under
      the top and bottom buttons of
   C#m     B    F#m
      my blazer,   relax the fraying wool, slacken ties and I’m
    A                    E
      not to look at you in the shoe,
               Bm             D
      but the eyes. find the eyes    

Chorus:
          Bm
      So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories
           D
      and files you must follow, leave this academic factory
                Bm
      you will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee.
           D                                                 A
      its better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine
              C#m  Bm  A
      yes its mine

Riff

Verse 2

   C#m              B     F#m
     I time every journey, to bump into you, accidentally I
   C#m               B      F#m
     charm you and tell you   of the boys i hate
                          A
     all the girls i hate, all the words i hate
                           F#m      
     all the clothes i hate, how I’ll never be anything I hate
   A                               E
     You smile, mention something that you like,
                       Bm
     how you’d have a happy life
	              D
     if you did the things you like.

Chorus

Middle  in 3/4 time

   C#m             B     F#m
      So I’m on BBC2 now,   telling Terry Wogan how I made it.
   C#m                   B   F#m
      What I made is unclear,   but his deference is and his laughter is.
    A                            E
      My words and smile are so easy now.
                 Bm
      Yes, it’s easy now.
                D
      Yes it’s easy now

Chorus x2

	Finish on C#m
