Four Little Songs
by the Rheostatics!
tabbed on a slow sunday afternoon by Anthony Fragomeni
This has always been one of my favourite rheostatics tunes, especially when
they play it live.
all chords in the chorus part can be played as sevenths.

Bidini:
Dm G
(Strange men, as strong as bears and as fierce as wolves.
Hungry men, hungry for the skins of beaver and mink and otter.)
Dm G
I had a dream I stood in Neil Young's kitchen.
Dm G
He looked superior, and I felt like retching.
C C/B Am
He said I had to go away.
C C/B Am
He said, "No you must obey
C C/B Am
The laws of the universe,
C C/B Am
And the laws of the second verse.
F G Am
You're only as good as your last song.
F G Am
It's better to burn-out than to be proven wrong.
F G (NC) Em
the force w ill sound like a giant gong."
F G
I cracked my fingers and my brain goes...
