Title: Is It Wicked Not To Care?
Band: Belle & Sebastian
Album: The Boy With The Arab Strap (1998)

Tabbed by scef (email funnell_teen_spirit@yahoo.com)

chords:
G#    466544
C#    x46664
D#    x68886
A#min 688666

      G#
Is it wicked...
          C#              G#
when they say...you're mistaken 
         C#      G#              D#
Thinking hopes...dreams...aren't there


Chords carry on like that until...


  A#min
I know the truth...
              D#
...because of fear


Eventually a clean tone electric comes in (after the
words "when you're dead") while the acoustic carries
on strumming the chord progression above. The electric
plays...

e--6--------8--9--8--6--6--------------------6s8---
B--6--------------------6-----8--6--8--6-----8s10--
G--6--------------------6-----------------8--8s10--
D--8--------------------8--------------------8s10--
A--8--------------------8--------------------6s8---
E--6--------------------6--------------------------

e--6--------------------6--------------------6-----
B--6--------------------6--------------------8-----
G--6--------------------6--------------------8-----
D--8--------------------8--------------------8-----
A--8--------------------8--------------------6-----
E--6--------------------6--------------------------


Then play this bit twice:

e------8-----8-8-6-------8-6-----------
B----9-----9-------9-9-------9-9---6-8-
G--8-----8-------------8---------8-----
D--------------------------------------


Then play this:

e--9------9------9------11-----11--
B--11-----11-----11-----11-----11--
G--10-----10-----10-----8------8---
D--8------8------8------8------8---
A----------------------------------
E----------------------------------


Then there's this little solo...(play this twice)

e----16-20--16-20-20-18-16-16--20-18-16-16-----15-
B--16-----16-----------------16-----------16-18---
G-------------------------------------------------


Then play this bit twice...

e--9-------9------9-----11----11--
B--11------11-----11----11----11--
G--10------10-----10----8-----8---
D--8-------8------8-----8-----8---
A---------------------------------
E---------------------------------


Then there's the little coda. While the acoustic plays
G# G# G# D# G# G# G#, the electric plays...

e--8-----8-----8-----9-----8-----8-----8--
B--9-----9-----9-----9-----9-----9-----9--
G--8-----8-----8-----6-----8-----8-----8--
D--6-----6-----6-----6-----6-----6-----6--
A-----------------------------------------


If you're at all bothered there's also this organ bit
played at the same time as the above...

e-----------------------9--8--6-----------------------
B--9--9--9--9--9--9--9-----------9--9--9--9--9--9--9--
G-----------------------------------------------------


I think that's pretty much it have fun!!!
