The Wombats - 1996 [We Are Mediocre cover]

The new album of The Wombats is amazing, so I decided to play one of the best songs on their new album called 1996.

The reason I did the last part of the song this way, is because it was just too good to not do it like this, hehe..

Please leave a comment and enjoy!

Capo on 3

C
I had no cares in the 1990s,
Em D
I knew of no downfalls,
C
The war was breaking out all around me,
Em - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - D
My concerns were with prank calls.
C
She kissed me on the cheek,
She kissed me on the cheek,
Em - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - D
Right in front of the older kids,
C - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G
When my self belief, my self belief,
Em - - - - - - - - - - - - - A
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch.
A
'Cause now it feels like,


C - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set,
Em - - - - - - - - -- - - -- - G
And the more I give, the less I get,
C - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G
Using fairground rides just to spark her smile,
Em - - - - - -- - - - D
This little hit to miss,
C
Bring back 1996
G - - - - -- - - - -- Em
Bring back 1996,
D - - - --- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - C
I want to beat those teenage kicks,
G- - - - - - - - Em- - - D
Bring back 1996.


*Same chords as first verse*



C - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set,
Em - - - - - - - - -- - - -- - G
And the more I give, the less I get,
C - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G
Using fairground rides just to spark her smile,
Em - - - - - -- - - - D
This little hit to miss,
C
Bring back 1996
G - - - - -- - - - -- Em
Bring back 1996,

C - - - - - - -- - - - - G
Stop talking, stop talking,
Em - - - - - - - - - - - -- D
I need a lover, not a friend tonight,
C - - - - - - - - - - - - - G
I'm leaving, I'm leaving,
Em - - - - - - - - - - -- - A
I'm not cut out for the modern life.

C, Em, G, Bm 4x
C, G, Em, D, 2x

Fucking love! LOVE your voice, it reminds me of 'Something With Numbers' not exactly sure why, but i am partial to a bit of them so well done, you succeed. Also loved the end, I applaud you.
