Default Help with the childish tab

Well I've had a look at the tab and I'm just not good enough on the guitar to work everything out from that!

Does anyone know of a more comprehensive tab? Or any other clues. I find the song very amusing and a bit different and would love to be able to play it.

Not sure if this'll be of any use to you, it's just the chords I use, they're probably a bit dodgy in places, but they seem to work for me.


C
I'm so childish
Am
A little bit wildish
F G
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly
C
I'm so deep

C
Well I'm so garish
Am
A little unfairish
F G
The way I pick you up And drop you
C
in a heap

C
I'm so unfaithful
Am
In fact I'm a plateful
F Am G
I won't kiss her But I'll stare her up
F
all night

F
I'm a stormy little singer
Am
An unstable little swinger
G
If you're coming
C
Come prepared for a fight

etc etc

not quite right - but it is really complicated to explain

Particularly the picking pattern - I can do it, but I can't explain it in words....

The chords though, are as follows:

C, G (Played though, with a bass E string rather than the usual 3rd fretted G) - Am (for 4 beats rather than 2) F, G, C, G.

Until you reach the line beginning 'I'm so ungreatful' - Which is as follows:

C, G (Played with the bass E again) Am (for 4 beats) then on the word 'kiss' - Amajor (for 4) F, Fm.
Then on the word 'dandy' - F, Fm, C, E, F, G, C, G. And begin again.

I know that may sound stupidly complex in words - It's so hard to explain. I'll try in the next few days to record myself playing it with a voice over!

Hope that helps for now though

Is there not a D7 in there somewhere? I haven't played the song in years (or listened to it in a good while) so maybe I just imagined it.
