Belle and Sebastian - Family Tree: chords

 A
I've been feeling down
           E
I've been looking round the town
         G
For somebody just like me
        D
But the only ones i see
         A
Are the dummies in the window
       E
They spend their money on
             G
Clothes, it saddens me to think
         Bm           E            F#
That the only ones I see are mannequins
         Bm           E               F#
Looking stupid, being used and being thin
       Bm               E                A
And I don't know why I hang around with them

             Em                  G
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than
        D    A
be confused...
             Em                  G
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than
       D
be confused
         A
Than be me in a cage
       F#m
With a bottle of rage
       E
And a family like the Mafia

I’ve been feeling blue
And I don’t know what to do
And I never get a thrill
And they threw me out of school
Cause I swore at all the teachers
Because they never teach us
A thing I want to know
We do Chemistry, Biology and Maths
I want Poetry and Music and some laughs
And I don’t think it’s an awful lot to ask

So won’t you please get up off your knees,
and let me go
So won’t you please get up off your knees,
and let me go
Cause I’m here in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia

Chorus:
A             Bm                    C#m
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
              D
Then I will change my name to Jones
A             Bm                  C#m
If my family tree goes back to Napoleon
              D
Then i will change my name to Smith
A             Bm                    C#m
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
              D
Then i will change my name to Jones
A                    Bm            C#m
If you're looking at me to be an accountant
               D
Then you will look but you will never see
A                    Bm                 C#m
If you're looking at me to start having babies

              D                C#         F#
Then you can wish because I'm not here to fool
     Bm A
around
         D               C#          F#         Bm A
You can wish because I'm not here to fool around
         D               C#          F#         Bm A
You can wish because I'm not here to fool around
         D               C#          F#         Bm A
You can wish because I'm not here to fool around
         D               C#          F#
You can wish because I'm not here to fool around
