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

(quaver)
G|--------| E|--0-----|
D|--2-----| B|--------|
A|-0-0--0-| or on standard tuned guitar: G|-2-2--2-|
D|0---3---| D|0---3---|
A|--------|
E|--------|

[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
