Biography:
Belle and Sebastian is a band from Glasgow. Led by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Murdoch, the seven-piece band has an intimate, majestic sound that is equal parts folk-rock and '60s pop. Murdoch has a gift not only for whimsy and surrealism, but also for odd, unsettling lyrical detail which keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Belle and Sebastian released their first two albums in 1996: Tigermilk, recorded over three days

Tabbed by Virage
Nice one of their new album. Quite up beat with a several chord progressions. Pretty straight forward in
terms of rhythm. During the arpeggiated section there's a simple pull off from the 3rd fret on the high e
as you play the C but its easy enough to work out so I didn't bother tabbing it out.
Cheers then, enjoy.
Intro
Em
Em G D F#m
Allie, what would you do?
C Em
When there's bombs in the middle east, you want to hurt yourself
A Em
When there's knives in the city streets, you want to end yourself
D C Am B
When there's fun in your mother's house, you want to cry yourself to sleep
Em G D F#m
Allie, what would you do?
C Em
With your fears, because they're adding one by one
A Em
And your mountains are obscured behind the sun
D Em G C
And the person that you could be is crumbling into dust
G C
You're in the mess 'cause you thought
G
You'd be someone else
Am Em
'Cause the tricks in your head are a lie
Am Em
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
D
Yeah, the tricks in your head are
Am Em
Tricks in your head are a lie
Em G D F#m
Allie, hand on your head
C Em
And a prayer from the soon-to-be-closing library
A Em
And if you looked from here, you would surely see
D Em G C
There's a softness in your heart, there's a poetry to come
G C
You bought that gun 'cause you thought
G
You'd be someone else
Am Em
'Cause the tricks in your head are a lie
Am Em
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
D
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a
Am Em
The tricks in your head are a lie
(arpeggio)
D C
You made a list of all your heroes
D C
And you thought about what they went through
Am G
Yeah, you thought about what they went through
F Em D
It's much darker, much harder, than anything that happened to you
Solo (same rhythm as first verse):
Em, G, D, F#m, C, Em, A, Em, D, C, Am, B
Em G D F#m
Allie, what would you do?
C Em
When your seven-year plan happens to someone else
A Em
And the people in your life you would happily shelf
D Em G C
When day falls night, you are truly on your own
G C
You're in this place 'cause you thought
G
You'd be someone else
Am Em
But the tricks in your head are a lie
Am Em
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
D
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a
Am Em
Tricks in your head are a lie
