HERE COMES THE WEEKEND
(Paul Weller)

From the LP 'This Is The Modern World'

This is actually quite a hard song to play, but I've done it as best I can, if I'm wrong,
  please correct me!

E                       C       D       E     D E
If we tell you that you got two days to live,
E                             C                 D        E    D E
Then don't complain 'cos it's one more than you get in Zaire.
F              Bb
So don't hang around and be foolish,
G               C
Do something constructive with your weekend.

E                      C            D               E     D E
Collect my wages, then try to paint on the smell of soap.
F             Bb
Cos tonight I get ready early,
F                     Bb
Score what I need and go pick a girl up,
G             C
It seems like ages since we had some fun.

Everything feels right now, I know why I'm alive now,

Everything else is a lie now, now I know why I'm here

Here comes the weekend, I'm gonna do my head.
A             Bb           C          G      F
Long live the weekend, the weekend is dead.
