Biography:
Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to Cooking Vinyl.
Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience.
Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year.

Underdog (Save Me)
Turin Brakes
Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian
Chorded out by Russ Reading.
There's only 4 (easy) chords in this excellent song.
Bm can be played pretty much where you like on the neck
but I find it sounds much better if you play it higher up
(7th Fret sounds about right - Bm = 799777). No capo needed.
Enjoy....
[Intro] Bm A G (x2)
[Verse 1]
Bm A G
Two black lines streaming out like a guidance line
Bm A G
With one foot on the road now where the Cyborgs are driving
Bm A G
With the WD 40 (in their veins)
Bm A G
The screeching little brakes complain
Bm A G
With my briefcase empty and a hole in my shoe
Bm A G
I try to stay friendly through the sugary abuse
Bm A G
Tell my secretary now to hold all my calls
Bm A G
I believe I can hear through these walls.
[Chorus]
G A
Oh please Save Me
G E
Save me from myself
A G E
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf
A G E A
You said you'd always fall for the un-der-dog
[Verse 2]
Bm A G
Well I've beem dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust
Bm A G
A 37 thousand foot wanderlust
Bm A G
With skyline number 9 kicked off in my mind
Bm A
Can you hear me screaming out now
G
through the telephone line
[Chorus]
G A
Oh please Save Me
G E
Save me from myself
A G E
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf
A G E A
You said you'd always fall for the un-der-dog
