Tux On

here is an obscure track by the not very well known band marillion that in spite of sounding incredibly bad ass , has never ( as far as i know ) been played live by the band ( aug 2013 ) , and i doubt it ever will . so what this means is that if they won’t do it , we have to do it ourselves! here are the chords , grab your instrument and start playing! _____________________________________________________________________________ scale : C minor/Aeolian ( bbb ) scale during the Solo : D minor/Aeolian ( B ) _____________________________________________________________________________ Intro : 4/4 | Csus4 | | G# | | | D# | | A# | | x2 ( "tux on" is whispered 4 times during the Intro ) Csus4 he has eyes down at the bingo on that lucky friday night G# the match was rained off saturday but the panel came in bright D# and on sunday your mates were toasting you with champagne down the pub A# and on monday you went to london to pick the cheque up with your mum Csus4 you had a tux on G# you had a tux on D# the first time you had a tux on A# lucky man Csus4 there’s a photo on the mantelpiece , when you bought your first guitar G# and your girlfriend came to see you when you were the rising star D# you knew your luck was holding when you filled the local hall A# the first time and the last time that you thought you had control Csus4 you had a tux on , lucky man G# you had a tux on D# you got a tux on A# tux on Csus4 now you’re touring stadiums , you’ve let it go too far G# standing with your manager , your back to every bar D# burning all your credit cards , chopping out the pain A# crowding into toilets with a host of your new - found friends Csus4 you got a tux on , nothing’s changed G# you got a tux on D# lucky man with a tux on A# you’re still the same with a tux on Solo : | Dm | | A# | | x3 | Dm | | F | C/F | | Dm | | Interlude : | Csus4 | | G# | | | D# | | A# | | Csus4 it was eyes down in the parlour , they prayed it wouldn’t rain G# a brother pulled his cuffs down to hide the blue - black vein D# his razor’d more than lines out , they found him just too late A# the final performance , the main man lies in state Csus4 with a tux on , look at him now G# with a tux on D# the last time with a tux on A# take him away with a tux on Csus4 somewhere in a tenement , in a well - thumbed magazine G# someone finds a photograph that triggers of a dream D# the uniform that symbolises the comfortable life A# he’s always known his luck’s in but now he’s found the drive Csus4 he’s got a tux on , look at him now G# with a tux on D# he’s gonna get one with a tux on A# free admission with a tux on Csus4 get it anyway with a tux on G# he’s got a tux on D# the easy way with a tux on A# tux on end on Cm _________________________________ is your index finger too weak to play barre - chords? put a capo on the 3rd fret and play these chords : Asus4 Csus4 F G# C D# G A# remove the capo during the Solo .
