Biography:
Little Comets are an English indie rock trio from Jarrow and Washington, Tyne and Wear, formed in 2008. They are described as playing "kitchen sink indie" music. In early 2009 the band were signed to Columbia Records following numerous gigs in strange locations such as lecture theatres and various modes of public transport and support from DJ Huw Stephens. After departing their major record label they released their début album, In Search of Elusive Little Comets, on 31 January 2011.

Lovely little acoustic rendition of Little Italy that the lads uploaded to YouTube
a few hours ago, Love this song and this version of it!

So the song is straight forward and I've tabbed the intro but if you plan on
playing this song alone I recommend just doing the chords,
maybe single strum for the first verse?
When he plays in the video he often does little hammer ons and pull offs
with his index finger on some chords, and there is a lot of bass walk down
into other chords which I've tried best to replicate simply with
chords above the words.
Listen to the video to get timings as some parts are longer than others,
e.g the first em chord in the second verse is played twice as long
and the G6 chord for those who don't know is x3002x or atleast in this tab it is.

G
Left wing, savoir faire
Em
Ageing flicks of my thin brown hair
C
Like an elegy, soaking me
Am
Drenched in the language of social mobility
G
But I don’t seem to mind,
Em
The gruesome link between people and time
C
It’s an enemy telling me
Am
The wheels of profit Are circling in the opposite
Chorus
G Em C
Life don’t animate
G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
G G/F# Em
Surely holy water flows
G G/F# Em
the same as normal water does?
G Em C
Life don’t animate
G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
C G6 Am Em
In Little Italy I re-adhere.
Verse 2
G
Sojourn in my guilt
Em
Wrestle words as the apostrophes wilt
C
Let the elegiac, question why
Am
Accidents happen or the well will dry
G
So some come kill me quick
Em
Tie me down to an anodyne drip
C
To the will of god and the people with sticks
Am
For filled with the shrill They show much better that
Chorus
G Em C
Life don’t animate
G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
G G/F# Em
Surely holy water flows
G G/F# Em
the same as normal water does?
G Em C
Life don’t animate
G
Just creeps up on you slowly.
G G/F# Em
Surely holy water flows
G G/F# Em

C G6 Am Em
In Little Italy I re-adhere.
