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

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Intro: F# C# F# C# F# C# G#
C# G# F# C#
In the boardroom the quiet man takes a second to think what to do;
F# C# G#
He's out of his seat and he's starting to speak and he hears his own voice;
C# G# F# C#
For years and years he's done nothing but bear down, and put up with all their demands;
F# C# G#
She sits like a viper and offers a clock without giving a damn...He takes it;
C# G# F# C#
"Honour forbids me, but honour be damned, you have wined till you got what you want;
F# C# G#
I did the work and when things were going badly you left us to rot";
Bridge: F# C# F# C# F# C# G#, etc.
C# G# F# C#
He locked the door of the boardroom and turned, like the scene from the old country song;
F# C# G#
Towering over the table he is lost; he is drunk with it all:
C# G# F# C#
"You only came back to us when we'd turned it around, when we'd rescued your arse from the fire;
F# C# G#
Your contribution to all that we did is to say it was dire"
Bridge 2: F# C# F# C# F# C# G#, etc.
C# (one strum) G#(ibid.) F#(ibid.) C#(ibid).
"Night after day after night I've been working, despite of you fucking us all;
F#(ibid.) C#(ibid) G#(ibid.)
Now I'm going to die, I don't care if you cry, just please leave me alone;
C# G# F# C#
And spare those tears for yourself, we've had those 'till we're sick, you should leave while you still
the chance";
F# C# F# C#
The others were shocked at this shameful display at the end of an hounoured career;
F# C# G#
He paused in the silence to pull down his tie and observe the melee.
Given that these are all sharp chords, they can be played barre style, or open on capo one; whichever
better to your ear.
