I feel like the F and Am chords should be swapped… It sounds more the the original to me for some reason. And also for the part where it says “Somebody new is gonna comfort you like you want me to…” I do a F to C to G progression.

Album: Tigermilk

Biography

Belle and Sebastian is a band from Glasgow. Led by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Murdoch, the seven-piece band has an intimate, majestic sound that is equal parts folk-rock and ’60s pop. Murdoch has a gift not only for whimsy and surrealism, but also for odd, unsettling lyrical detail which keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Belle and Sebastian released their first two albums in 1996: Tigermilk, recorded over three days
