THE NIPS ARE GETTING BIGGER - Mental As Anything
Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann
INTRO:
|This first bit is sort of like an 'intro to the intro' as can|
|be seen in the timing change. It is played only once, being |
|followed by the 'main guitar progression' straight away |
[G] [C] [D]
[1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4]
MAIN GUITAR PROGRESSION:
|Played three times - first time solo, second time with the |
|bass and third time with the drums. It then continues to be |
|played over each verse |
[G] [C] [D]
[1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4]
BASS:
[1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4]
[G]Started out just [C]drinking beer[D]
I [G]didn't know how or why or what I was [C]doing there[D]
[G]Just a couple more made me feel a little [C]better[D]
Be[G]lieve me when I tell you it was nothing to do with the [C]letter[D]
GUITAR BREAK:
[G]Ran right out of beer, I took a look into the [C]larder[D]
[G]No bones nothing I'd better go and get something [C]harder[D]
[G]Back in a flash I started on a dash of Jam[C]aica Rum[D]
[G]Me and Pat Malone, drinking on our [C]own[D]
CHORUS:
[G]Oh, the nips are getting [C]bigger[D]
[G]Oh yeah, the nips are getting [C]bigger[D]
[G]Oh, the nips are getting [C]bigger[D]
[G]Yeah, they're getting [C]bigger[D]
REPEAT GUITAR BREAK
[G]Sometimes I wonder what all these chemicals are [C]doing to my brain[D]
[G]Doesn't worry me enough to stop me from [C]doing it again[D]
[G]Wiping out brain cells by the million but [C]I don't care[D]
[G]Doesn't worry me even though I ain't got a [C]lot to spare[D]
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT GUITAR BREAK
(End by repeating first three power chords from guitar break)
