“Stool Pigeon” – Vic Godard & the Subway Sect
I have a lot of work to do. I’ve been out of town for two weeks and work has piled up. But I don’t teach tomorrow, and there’s this song I can’t get out of my head and it’s by Vic Godard and so I needed to figure out the tab. Which I’ll share with you. Those Vic Godard fans out there who find this blog by searching for tabs can correct at will. Also, feel free to use these chords as a beginning to tabbing out the little guitar riffs during the verses. I don’t have quite the time for that.
But I got you the intro and interlude ones. That’s worth something?

INTRO VERSE: Black and white lies appear the same to me. Chant of voices on a wind so free. Things are tough we can still picnic. A nice bunny that became trees. I and my money wrapped in dishonesty. Feeling part of a page in a book. Now rummage among the debris. Me and my shadow in our eats, like a CHORUS: D Stool pigeon E Stool pigeon G Won't you take two or three? A Bb Knock me around all over the place and then leave BRIDGE: D I once found a place in a sea. Bb D Roses, no one bothering me, and a view. Bb D sad expecting what was coming to me. Bb A Nothing right from anyone least of you VERSE: I and my money wrapped.... CHORUS TWICE
