                             GIBBER AND TWITCH - Cardiacs
E|E|------------------------------------------------------------------
E|----------|| 

Tabbed by: The Mop™
From the album: "The Seaside" and "Special Garage Concerts Vol I"


This was tabbed using the Garage Concerts version, its pretty much
the same as the one heard on The Seaside though. The chords and stuff
on the tab line up with the lyrics for the first verse to help suss out
the timings and stuff, which is why the spacings of each chord is a
bit of a mess, cause some of the singing is really fast and some not
so much...

   Isn't it good?      Why do I feel so misunderstood?

   Look at the cakes!  I'm gonna go and eat them all up
   Look at me wiggle   No wonder I'm feeling bored all the time

               Could it be that I'm right I'm wrong but then again

goof around on the whole tone scale or something, then verse 3 is 
above)
