The Mexican (ver 2) by Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Mexican
A simple song with a really catchy riff. It's my first tab so sorry if it's messy...

You say that you need love
just like a kid on crack
I got a feeling that what you want
is kinda holding you back
You say you can't find your feet
under the morning sun
I got a feeling that what you are,
might just be blowing away your mind
Thought I talking about a new religion
Raining on the outside, lost in the fog
I was only dreaming of a revolution
Waiting for the right time, watching the clock.

You say that you need love
just like a kid on crack
I got a feeling that what you want
is kinda holding you back
You say you can't feel the heat
behind a setting sun
I got a feeling that what you are,
might just be blowing away your mind

Full lyrics
You say that you need love
just like a kid on crack
I got a feeling that what you want
is kinda holding you back
You say you can't find your feet
under the morning sun
I got a feeling that what you are,
might just be blowing away your mind
Thought I talking about a new religion
Raining on the outside, lost in the fog
I was only dreaming of a revolution
Waiting for the right time, watching the clock
You say that you need love
just like a kid on crack
I got a feeling that what you want
is kinda holding you back
You say you can't feel the heat
behind a setting sun
I got a feeling that what you are,
might just be blowing away your mind
Thought I was talking about a new religion
Waiting on the outside, lost in the fog
I was only dreaming of a revolution
Waiting for the right time, watching the clock...
