One of my favourite songs i had to learn thanks to ian i was put on the right tracks though i was confused by his tab but i see where he went wrong mainly just mixing up the a and b chord and making the pre-chorus more complex than it is. im pretty sure this is right.

Chords used:

     E      B     A    c#m  

e||---------|------|------|------|
b||---------|------|------|------|
g||--8h9--|--8--|--6---|--9---|
d||--9------|--9--|--7--|--11--|
a||--7------|--9--|--7--|--11--|
E||---------|--7---|--5--|--9---|

As ian put 'Damien hammers on the ninth fret on the g string (no jokes pls) while playing the first note of the E, listen to the song and you'll know what I mean' he also holds off the little finger on the 9th fret for a tiny bit before changing from that sexy e variation, this is very important to the sound of the song and maybe why ian had thought it was a B chord sorry to be anal but i love that E (magic E!) and the way it changes. watch out for it in the blowers daughter.


Intro: E A B x2

Verse 1: (Keep palm muting on and off-again listen to the song and you'll pick it up. play lightly and experiment with it its reasonably simple.)

E 
Huge eyes
         A       B
Know I'm missing
E
So I close mine
      A          B
When I'm kissing
E                A         B
Lollipop licking
E
With Lola 
A                    B
Sticking like toffee to my teeth

Pre Chorus:

A      B         C#m
Wait, watch, gravitate
        B                A
Grap hold of insulate
A      B              C#m
Wait, watch, it's too late

It's over now
B
All the way


Chorus:

E                      B                          C#M         A
I've got so much beauty around me I can't move
I've got so much beauty around me I can't lose
I've got so much beauty around me I can't choose
I've got so much beauty around me, around you


Verse 2: (Just like verse 1)

Toffee pop
So sticky
In the heat
Lola gets angry
Over meat
And who did I (who did i)
Who did I (who did i)
Push out
And who did I (who did i)
Who did I (who did i)
Hear shout

Pre Chorus (as before)

Wait, watch, gravitate
Grap hold of, insulate
Wait, watch, it's too late
It's too late for now
All the way

Chorus (again as before)

I've got so much beauty around me I can't move
I've got so much beauty around me I can't lose
I've got so much beauty around me I can't choose
I've got so much beauty around me, around you


Outro:
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo (and so on - think he just quietly plays the verse here)

again many thanks to ian for pointing me in the right direction for this tab. theres heck load of a sexy strumming in this song to rival that of volcano. strum away eskimos!
