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.

Little Comets - The Isles
------------------------------
Key of E
Ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
------------------------------
Alternately, you can change every second C#m chord to an F#m, as in
C#m - B - F#m - B. The (E-B) accent is played after every B chord, but I have
marked it where it is most strongly heard.
------------------------------
INTRO:
C#m - B - C#m - B
VERSE 1:
C#m B (E-B)
Economic downturn you can get a job
C#m B
Apologetic parents you can get a job
C#m B (E-B)
Sometimes I'm feeling just like Cupid with a bow and arrow
C#m B
And I'm firing it at people who remain too shallow
CHORUS:
C#m B
In the B R I T I say British Isles
C#m B
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild
VERSE 2:
C#m B (E-B)
Terror on the pavement, panic in the street
C#m B
Tension in the twisted silence of our sheets
C#m B
Sometimes I lie awake for hours, feeling so synthetic
C#m B
While my eyes are screaming out for something way more epic
CHORUS:
C#m B
It's the B R I T I say British Isles
C#m B
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild
C#m
Terribly bold they try so hard
B
Never look up to see the stars
C#m B
In the B R I T I say British Isles
BRIDGE:
C#m
Leeds screaming, Bristol torn
B
Belfast and Hull forlorn
C#m
Oxford dreaming in denial
B
With all it's gleaming spires
C#m
Stoke bleeding, Glasgow yawns
B
Dundee and Cardiff mourn
C#m
York breaking, Sheffield cries
B
All fears are multiplied
CHORUS:
C#m B
In the B R I T I say British Isles
C#m B
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild
C#m
Terribly bold they try so hard
B
Never look up to see the stars
C#m B
In the B R I T I say British Isles
