Song: Ladybird
Tabbed by: DJ

A catchy number from their 'Everybody loves a happy ending' album.
The chorus may need some practise, and careful listening to,
with it's bars of varying time signatures.

[Em7]Tell me a story of [Cadd9]mind over matter,
The h[Em7]ope and the glory of [Cadd9]life ever after,
The s[Em7]ound and the fury, the [Cadd9]cloak and the dagger,
D[A7]ays when we sink like a [Cadd9]stone! [Cadd9#11] /_/_/ |[Cadd9] /_/_/ /_/_/ |
Por[Em7]celain portraits on [Cadd9]silver medallions,
Pla[Em7]sticine soldiers that [Cadd9]march in battalions,
A[Em7]ngels of mercy, and l[Cadd9]ifelong companions,
D[A7]ays when we sink like a [Cadd9]stone! [Cadd9#11] /_/_/ |[Cadd9] /_/_/ /_/_/ |
|[Cadd9] /_/_/ [Cadd9#11]/_/_/ | [Cadd9]/_/_/ /_/_/ |
There's a r[Em7]oom, somewhere, with a d[Cadd9]ifferent look,
Where your s[Em7]ecret life is an [Cadd9]open book,
Where the l[Em7]ove we made was a [Cadd9]chance we took,
D[A7]ays when we sink like a [Cadd9]stone![Cadd9#11]

Lad[B7]ybird, fly a - [Em7]way, y[D]our fr[C]iends are g[Em]one,
Lad[B7]ybird, fly a - [Em7]way, y[D]our ho[C]use is [Em7]on [Dsus2]fire!
[Em7]Let us be lovers, we'll [Cadd9]melt after midnight,
H[Em7]oist up the main sail, and [Cadd9]coast through to daylight,
Tw[Em7]isted like candles that[Cadd9] fade in the half-light,
D[A7]ays when we sink like a [Cadd9]stone![Cadd9#11] [Cadd9]
Well, we[Em7] die, sometimes, to be -[Cadd9] gin again,
When the s[Em7]ame old dreams have the [Cadd9]same old end,
When we [Em7]lose our mind, or we [Cadd9]lose our friends,
D[A7]ays when we sink like a [Cadd9]stone![Cadd9#11]
