You're The Best Thing

Written by Paul Weller

	  		Someone Else Tabbed this from guitartabs.cc 
We didn't have it here so here it isYOU'RE THE BEST THING by THE STYLE COUNCIL 

From 'Cafe Bleu' 

 (all notes relative to capo eg. 0 = 2nd fret, 7 = 9th fret etc.) 

Intro: 

N.C. (drums) 
        |        | 



Please excuse if my notation is non-standard! 
s = slide 
p = pull-off 
-14b(15)- = fret and pick 14th fret and bend to pitch of 15th fret 

This is roughly how the acoustic guitar plays during the verses and solos. 
(I've omitted writing some of the chords names above the lyrics for space): 

During the intro and the first time after every Chorus - play something like: 


Amaj7                  G#m7 
  I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end 
F#m9                        B13 
  I might win much more but lose all that is mine 
Amaj7             G#m7 
  I could be a lot but I know I'm not 
F#m9                         B4/7/6                B7 
  I'm content just with the riches that you bring 

Amaj7                G#m7 
  I might shoot to win and commit the sin 
F#m9                   B13 
  Of wanting more than I've already got 
Amaj7            G#m7 
  I could runaway but I'd rather stay 
F#m9                           B4/7/6   
  In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day 
      B7 
  The one that makes me say, hey 

F#                                         D#m7    D#m9 D#m7 
  'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened 
F#             D#m7   D#m9 D#m7 
  To me or my world 
F#                                  D#m7    D#m9 D#m7 
  You're the best thing that ever happened 
     C#m7      F# 
  So don't go away 

Amaj7 G#m F#m9 B13 
Amaj7 G#m F#m9  B4/7/6   B7 

Amaj7             G#m7 
  I might be a king and steal my peoples things 
F#m9                      B13 
  But I don't go for that power crazy way 
Amaj7                 G#m7 
  All that I could rule but I don't check for fools 
F#m9                        B4/7/6   
  All that I need is to be left to live my way 
      B7 
  Say listen what I say 

F#                                       D#m7     D#m9 D#m7 
  'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened 
F#            D#m7    D#m9 D#m7 
  To me or my world 
F#                                D#m7      D#m9 D#m7 
  You're the best thing that ever happened 
     C#m7      F# 
  So don't go away 

Amaj7                G#m7 
  I could chase around for nothing to be found 
F#m9                         B13 
  But why look for something that is never there 
Amaj7                         G#m7 
  I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style 
F#m9                             B4/7/6   
  For I realise your love means more than anything 
      B7 
  The song you make me sing - yeah 

F#                                       D#m7      D#m9 D#m7

F#            D#m7   D#m9 D#m7 
  To me or my world 
F#                                D#m7      D#m9 D#m7 
  You're the best thing that ever happened 
     C#m7      F# 
  So don't go away

F#             D#m7  D#m9 D#m7 
  To me or my world 
F#                                D#m7      D#m9 D#m7 
  You're the best thing that ever happened 
     C#m7      F# 
  So don't go away 

Amaj7                G#m7

  But why look for something that is never there 
Amaj7                                        G#m 
  I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style 
F#m9                             B4/7/6
