Biography:
The Fratellis is an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film "The Goonies" (although, by coincidence, Barry's mother's maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory).

Well, everybody knows when, ah, tell me again
A F
Fatten up the pig and, baby, let's pretend
A F
That I can see the joke at the beginnin' or the end
E F G
Let me know the secret, honey, then I'll be your best friend
A F
Alakazam, Kalakazoo, Salaam
A F
Meet me in the jungle where they never give a damn
A F
If your clothes don't fit, or if your marriage is a sham
E F G
They never weigh a woman by the kilo or the gram
C F
If you got to make it, baby, make it real
C Bb F
Get up of your knees and tell me, how do you feel?
C F
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed
Bb F G# Bb | C | C |
Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal
A F
Well, written in the stars is the great big lie
A F
That you never get to see until the minute that you die
A F
By the time you get to heaven you're a whole 'nother guy
E F G
It's maybe just as well that you never had a third eye
A F
Little pig, little pig, lock your door
A F
Take the gun from the wall and even up the score
A F
Well, I don't even know who the sun shines for
E F G
And I don't believe what I believe any more
C F
If you got to make it, baby, make it real
C Bb F
Get up of your knees and tell me, how do you feel?
C F
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed
Bb F G# Bb
Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal
C F
Hollywood death smile flash me a grin
C Bb F
Laughin' gas don't cut it when you're rotten within

Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed

Well, it's hotdog logic in a grapefruit time
Flutter your eyelids and, honey, you'll be fine
Throw me your sins and I'll keep 'em with mine
F G
You got a headful of stone and that's somethin' divine
A F
Get a little head rush, swallow a fly
A F
Cut off your memories and hang them out to dry
A F
It was a beautiful noise but now it's tumbling by
E F G
Well, I was never here, there was never you or I
C F
If you got to make it, baby, make it real
C Bb F
Get up of your knees and tell me, how do you feel?
C F
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed

Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal

I write chord charts for my own use as a rhythm guitarist. I don't
claim they are the "right" way. They're not intended to be taken
as tabs - which notate exactly how a song was played on a recording.
