GIBBER AND TWITCH - Cardiacs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: The Mop�
From the album: "The Seaside" and "Special Garage Concerts Vol I"
www.themopcollective.co.uk
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 me wiggle No wonder I'm feeling bored all the time
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

Or is it that I'm dreaming?
