I've pm'd you as I'm not quite sure if you mean the middle 8 bit
Verse:Bb D# Gm F
Middle (this was the quirky section)
C# F#
B F#
A E
D C# C-C B-B
It's a fun song to play
Madness seem to do it in A live, based on recentish stuff. The studio versions on YouTube seem to vary between A and a slightly wonky Bb. I’m guessing it was in A originally and they sped up the tape ( they certainly did that on One Step). The naked man doing a keyboard tutorial of it did it in A as well ( don’tcha just love Youtube...).
Anyway, all I’ll add is there are a couple of obvious bits ( if we are in Bb) were they stay on F for a long while. Also in some of the verse sections ( such as the ones at the beginning where the guitar is playing arpeggios) rather than playing just the F at the end of the four chord sequence I think it goes F D# .
Woh oh woh he was,he was a bed and breakfast man....
At the moment MrsTheWeary works every other weekend and wants us to do stuff together when she’s not so I’m just letting the band slide really. When I pick up a guitar it’s either for the band or for something that might be for the band so not much incentive to go plincky pluncky either.
Anyway, I quite enjoyed my time on B and B man last night, not sure I have the arpeggios quite right but there’s a version under my fingers I could gig with. If your band do it will be interesting to see how it goes down, one of those fan favourite songs that I guess goes down a storm some places and just gets some confusion in others.
E---0---2---2---4-2
B---2---3---2---5-3
G---2---2---2---4-2
Verse is A, D, F*m, E then in the break down I am doing C, F, A*, C, G*, A*, C*, C, B, A*
Thanks all!
