Attitude

Attitude
Written by: Ray Davies


Opening Riff: G-Major-Pentatonic-Single-Note-Pattern played in the 3rd and 5th fret position
(from C down to D, and then up to C)

(On the "One for the road" version one instrumental |G|A|B|C| progression follows the 
riff)


Verse1:

    G
You go down the pub
    A
You wear make up
    B
And old dads trousers
    C
Why don't you tidy up
    G                          A
You talk like a docker but you act like a queer
    B                        C
You drink champagne then complain it's too dear
    G                  A
You try so hard not to follow any trends
         B                               C
Then you cry in your beer and say you've got no friends
G                                       A
But is it any wonder that you've got no friends


                 G
But it's not the make up
               F     G
Or the way you dress
                 G                         F   G
It's not your appearance, that they all detest
              A                            B
It's not your manners, that you gotta to improve

ooooo--it's your attitude.

Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)

G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude
G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude

G
Take off your head phones
                  F  G
Hear what's going on

You can't live in a time zone
                  F  G
You've gotta move on
               A
But before you get there
                               B
There's one thing you've gotta do

Oh change your attitude


Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)

G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude
G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude


Bridge: |C Bb Bb C|


     C               B                          C
The '80s are here, I know cuz I'm staring right at them
    C                        B          C
But you're still waiting for 1960 to happen


Verse 2

(You can play the G-Major-Pentatonic-Riff (as played by Dave) or the |GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)

                      G                        F    G
You might have the illness, but you've got the cure
                 G                 F   G
You've got the answer, you will endure
                A                            B
You're the only person that's gonna pull you through
                   G
Ooh, with your attitude

Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)

G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude
G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude


Verse 3: Power chord riff |GFGGCBb| as played by Dave until the A chord
(or the |GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern again)

                          G                    F      G
You gotta learn to be positive, it's your only chance
                       G                           F     G
You mustn't be so defensive, you gotta join in the dance
                     A                         B
But it isn't your dancing that you've gotta improve
                   G
Ooh, it's your attitude.

Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)

G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude
G         F
Attitude, Oo Oo Oo
G
Your attitude


             G
It's all the music
                 F     G
It's all in your brain
                    G
You've used all the old licks
                   F      G
Now it's all gotta change
G                    F  G
Change your attitude
