Belle And Sebastian - The Eight Station Of The Cross Kebab House Chords & Tabs

note: chords are explanated in the end.


intro: Em

    Em       D#dim         Em   C#dim
I'm sitting around at the checkpoint
Em        D#dim    C#dim  D#dim
Keeping myself to myself
   Em            D#dim      Em            C#dim
My heart's going out to the girl with the gun
       Em            D#dim        C#dim  D#dim
She is young, she is fun, she is dea-----dly

(note: the next G#dim goes from 14fret in the same position as the D#dim)

    G#dim  F#dim  Edim  F#dim  Edim D#dim  Edim   C#dim
She clocks off,   goes  back    to  the     ci-----ty
G#dim F#dim  Edim    F#dim   Edim  D#dim   Em
Goes   to     a      club    with   her   friends

Bass:
A|-7-------------------|
E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|


(then next verse goes as first)

I just took a walk through the checkpoint
Past columns of poor Arab sons
They queue through the day for a chance to make pay
For something to put in their mouths

He can't sleep at night without gunfire
The lullaby puts him to sleep

Bass:
A|-7-------------------|
E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|


Solo: Am, G#dim, Em, Cdim
Am, G#dim, F#dim, G#dim
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/belle_and_sebastian/the_eight_station_of_the_cross_kebab_house_crd.html ]
   Am           G#dim         Am        F#dim
We stand there accused of the British collusion
   Am       G#dim  F#dim      G#dim
Israel into Pales---ti--------ne
   Am         G#dim     Em        Cdim
A victory for some an astonishing hope
        Am         G#dim       F#dim   G#dim
But for him it has brought devasta-----tion
   Cdim  Bdim   Adim  Bdim   Adim  G#dim  Adim  F#dim
He lives  li----ke a  pris---'ner   in     ex----ile
   Cdim  Bdim   Adim  Bdim   Adim  G#dim  Am
He lives  li----ke a  pris---'ner   in    hell


D                C                          A#
Loves black and white in the blue vault of space
      A#m           Fm         C
Swoop around like a symbol of peace
    Gm           Dm
Can they see the hawk?
            F       Cm
They're too busy in talk of love
D#               C#          A#
Why should they contemplate fear?


(and so the next goes quite as the first verse)

Everyone meets in the cramped city streets
Hipsters of Zion collide
To talk music and dross
At the sign of The Cross
   Em       D#dim     Em
We eat our falafel in peace
    Em           D#dim    Em
The girl lets her uniform slip
    Em           D#dim        Em
The boy cracks a joke, he is sweet
   Em         D#dim      C#dim    D#dim
He listens to hip hop in Ga--------za
    Em         D#dim       Em
She listens to Coldplay in Lod

Chords:

the part "he lives like a prisioner..." i think is easier if you do the "dim" 
chords varianting from the G#dim e go lowering the tones
