Biography:
Magic Dirt are an Australian rock band fronted by Adalita. Formed in 1992 in Geelong, Victoria, they are currently on hiatus following the tragic death of bassist Dean Turner to cancer. They are one of the longest running, critically acclaimed (although far from commercially successful) bands to have come out of the Australian music scene.
Magic Dirt have released 8 albums and 3 EPs during their career, balancing a fine line between improvisational noise and alternative rock, and remaining a staple of influential radio station Triple J.

Dirty Jeans - Magic Dirt
This is just a simple way to play a ripper song, good for acoustic even!
As you will notice, the lyrics are repeated for the whole song, but the way the chords match up differs
slightly in the first verse compared to the rest of them. Enjoy!
CAPO 1
[Verse 1]
E B
You're an ordinary boy and
A E
That's the way I like it
B
On the train in the corner

With a mind-numbing headache

Went out last night
A
With only one life
E
Had to let you know
B A
That you're beautiful
E
And you make me go and
B
Even if you're takin'

There's no moves I'm makin'
E
My legs are achin'

My eyes are sore
A
I haven't washed my jeans
E
In three months or more
