Old Grunge

	  		 
 

Verse (single strum) 

G                                C 
I used to play in a grunge band when I was seventeen 
D                            G 
I had a Fender Mustang and a pair of ripped up jeans 
We used to play the army and navy we did shit loads of gigs 
We got a bit of a following back in sunny old Essex 
Well it wasnt quite Seattle but we thought that it was cool 
And I had a fucking great time throwing my guitar against a wall 
Yeah I loved Nirvana in 1995 
It had been about a year or so since Kurt Cobain had died 
But history repeats itself and fashions turn around 
And they've invented a genre called new grunge now 
After new rave, new metal and even know folk 
You can pigeon all the music but the music never stops 

Chorus (short fast strums) 

G                                 C 
You got Jazz, Soul, Ska Punk, Classical Guitar 
D                                   G 
Hip-Hop, Electro, Drum and Bass, Bluegrass and Avant-garde 
G 
There's someone there to sing along 
C 
There'll be someone there to hum it 
D 
I don't think i've mentioned Reggae yet? 
G (hold) 
I fucking love it! 

After Nirvana i started listening to Rap 
I used to love Snoop Doggy Dog and The Wu Tang Clan 
I think the first time I heard Techno I was into my late teens 
I was at some rave in Luton on a really banging eve 
And I'd dance all night to the music and then I would go home 
I'd lie in bed the next day and listen to the Counting Crows 
My mum raised me on the Beatles, suhe said Paul McCartney was god 
So I learnt pretty early on the importance of a song 
But history repeats itself and fashions turn around 
Just look at Paul McCartney now 

Oh You've got Rock n Pop, Rock n Roll, Rock and Rockabilly 
You got Detroit House and Acid House, Britpop and Indie 
There's someone there to sing along 
There'll be someone there to hum it 
I don't think i've mentioned Reggae yet? 
I fucking love it! 

You got Soul, Jazz, Ska Punk, Classical Guitar 
Hip-Hop, Electro, Drum and Bass, Bluegrass and Avant-garde 
There's someone there to sing along 
There'll be someone there to hum it 
I don't think i've mentioned Reggae yet? 
I fucking love it! 

End on G
