[Chorus] (I have listed the lyrics below just in case there is any confusion on how the chorus is played)
F#m F#m (down strokes) oh the boys a slag B B (down strokes) the best you ever had F#m F#m (down strokes) the best you ever had F#m F#m B B B B <-(up to here is all down strokes is just a memory of those dreams but start strumming after this) F#m B as daft as they may seem F#m (pause) as daft as they may seem my love A (slowly strum down) when you dream them up
(Then back to the verse the lead also comes in at this point with a little melodic riff I have had a stab at this but i'm not sure if its 100% correct but here it is anyway)
This riff also comes in a bit later on in the song: e|----7-9----7-----4~~~-------------| B|---9------------------------------| G|-9--------------------------------| repeat as necessary D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|----------------------------------|

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Fluorescent Adolescent
You used to get it in your fishnet
Now you only get it in your nightdress,
It started all the naughty nights with niceness,
Now they’re in a very common crisis,
E
Everything’s in order in a black hole
C#m
Is anything as pretty as her past though,
B G# F#m
That Bloody Mary's dripping in Tabasco
B
Remember when he used to be a rascal
F#m
Oh the boy's a slag
B
The best you ever had
F#m
The best you ever had
B F#m
Is just a memory and those dreams
B
And as daft as they seem
F#m
And as daft as they seem
A
My love, when you dream them up
E
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
C#m
Remember when the boys were all electric
B G#m F#m
Now when she tells she’s gonna get it
B
I'm guessing that she'd finally just forget it
E
Figures for not getting sentimental
C#m
Said she wasn’t going but she went still
B G# F#m
Now she gets her fella to be gentle
was it her knickerbockers or a bitten pencil(?)
F#m
Oh that boy’s a slag
B
The best you ever had
F#m
The best you ever had
B F#m
Is just a memory and those dreams
B
And as daft as they seem
F#m
And as daft as they seem
B G#
My love when you dream them up, oh no
C#m
Where did you go
F#m
Where did you go
G#m
Where did you go
F#m
Woah oh
C#m
You’re falling about
F#m B E
You took a left off Laspark Lane
C#m B G#
You’re sounding it out
F#m B E
But you're not coming back again
C#m B G#
You’re falling about
F#m B
You took a left off Laspark Lane
E C#m B G#
You were just, sounding it out
F#m B
But you're not coming back again
E
You used to get it in your fishnets
C#m
Now you only get it in your nightdress,
B G# F#m
It started all the naughty nights with niceness,
B
Now they're in a very common crisis,
E
Everything’s in order in a black hole
C#m
Is anything as pretty as her past though,

I think the tab's right. I think the hardest thing about it is to figure
out the Rhythm for the Main Rhythm Riff and the Lead for the 2nd Verse.
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Standard Tuning.
all the other ones aren't very good so here you go
[Intro] e |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A |------------------2---4-4-4-----4---2-------------------4---2-2-2-----2-2--------| E |-0-0-0-----0-2-4-----------------------2-2-2-----2---2-------------------4-2-----|
accompanied by
e |-----9--------------------9-------9---7----2--------------------4----------------| B |-----9--------------------9-------9---7----2--------------------4----------------| G |-----9--------------------9-------9---8----2--------------------4----------------| D |-----9-------------------11------11---9----4--------------------4----------------| A |-----7-------------------11------11---9----4--------------------2----------------| E |-----0--------------------9-------9---7----2--------------------x----------------| ^ ^ *these two are on the off beats
strum changes but same chords
More or less the chorus
e |-9-9-9-9-9---9-9------9-9-9-9---9-7------2-2-2-2---2-2------4-4-4-4---4-4-------| B |-9-9-9-9-9---9-9------9-9-9-9---9-7------2-2-2-2---2-2------4-4-4-4---4-4-------| G |-9-9-9-9-9---9-9------9-9-9-9---9-8------2-2-2-2---2-2------4-4-4-4---4-4-------| D |-9-9-9-9-9---9-9-----11111111--11-9------4-4-4-4---4-4------4-4-4-4---4-4-------| A |-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-----11111111--11-9------4-4-4-4---4-4------2-2-2-2---2-2-------| E |-0-0-0-0-0---0-0------9-9-9-9---9-7------2-2-2-2---2-2------x-x-x-x---x-x-------|
Plays once then doesn't for a single verse then comes back to it
then. . .
e |-----2-2------7-7------2-2---2-2---7-7---7-7-----------| B |-----2-2------7-7------2-2---2-2---7-7---7-7-----------| G |-----2-2------8-8------2-2---2-2---8-8---8-8-----------| D |-----4-4------9-9------4-4---4-4---9-9---9-9-----------| A |-----4-4------9-9------4-4---4-4---9-9---9-9-----------| E |-----2-2------7-7------2-2---2-2---7-7---7-7-----------|
you just use a different strum with the two chords here then end with
e |-----2-------5-------| B |-----2-------5-------| G |-----2-------6-------| D |-----4-------7-------| A |-----4-------7-------| E |-----2-------5-------|
let both chords ring then go back to chorus and its a bit different its closely related to the intro strum
The "oh flo, where did you go?" part.
