Small World by Madness, from their 2012 album "Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da".
Written by Daniel Woodgate.
Notes:
In Chorus 3, the vocals from both Chorus 1 and Chorus 2 are sung at the same
time.
To denote this, I've put the backing vocals in brackets underneath the lead.
Also, the guitar plays a brief Dsus4 in verses 1 and 2 but I've omitted it
for simplicity.
Bass line for intro/verse one
[outlines a Dm(add9), causing the dissonance with the keys]:
Note that the bass in in drop d tuning. Each - represents am 8th note

[Intro]
Bass riff x4 then
F E D x2
[Verse 1]
Dm
I sat and watched the crowds in London
Dm
I know each road by name
Dm
Today the streets are cold and empty
Dm
Cause no one likes the rain
D
I soon lost count of all the cars
F
That burned so bright outside the bars
D
Deserted streets and burning shells
F
Familiar shops I know so well
[Verse 2]
Dm
Today the birds no longer twitter
Dm
The words don't make it true
