Hello there... here are the words and chords for "My Big Mouth" and
"Getting Better Man". I have done my best to transcribe them from the
Knebworth bootleg. Some of the lyrics are hard to figure out, and
undoubtledy some will change for the studio recording, but still, here you
go. I hope you can put them on your web page! Please let me know
if you do.

Thanks
Dave Bryce

My Big Mouth

Chords: Am G F
Everybody knows
You don't say nothing
It's a song so very loud
But no one can hear
I got something in my shoes
It's keeping me from hopping
Down the long and winding road
Back home to you

F       F?
When all your songs cease to be,
G
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
F                     F?
Where angel's fly, you won't play
G                                          
So guess who's going to take the blame for 


Am   G  F
My big mouth        
My big name
And put on our shoes
I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth
You could fly a plane
Go put on my shoes
I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame

I ain't never spoke to God
But I ain't never been to heaven
But you were surely in the way
Even though I'm not worth giving

But now she's looking to the eye
Of a bloody cold assassin
Only then you'll realize
?  ?   ?  ?   miss you.





MY BIG MOUTH - tabbed by Karim Adab





There are 2 ways of playing the rhythm to  My Big Mouth.



The first is tabbed out below, along with the second version, which uses "open" chords   - this second way is possibly easier to play, and sounds smoother but less "dramatic".



The actual "start" of the progression is the A5, ENDING on the F5 at the start of the next line. Listen to the song and you'll

see what I mean.



The D5 and C5 should only be played once each, and only briefly,  and the 2 F5's are in fact the same chord, it carries over from the end of the progression to the start of the next line.



F5 = 133xxx

A5 = 577xxx

D5 = x577xx

C5 = x355xx

G5 = 355xxx

Fsus2 = x33011

G = 300033  (must be played like this)

E = x2210x



(OR -2nd method)

Am = x02210

Asus4 = x0223x   (just hammer on once from Am then take your finger off again)

G = 300033

Fsus2 = x33022



 

 Here we go:

 

 INTRO A5  D5 C5 G5 F5



(OR : substitute above progression all the way through song  for  :  Am, Am + hammer on B string fret 3, G,  Fsus2)

 

 F5                  A5     D5 C5 G5  F5

 Everybody knows

 F5                                   A5        D5 C5 G5  F5

 And no one's saying nothing

 F5                                   A5    D5 C5 G5 F5

 Is the sound so very loud

 F5                          A5     D5 C5 G5 F5

 That no one can hear

 F5                                                 A5     D5 C5 G5 F5

 And there's something in my shoes

 F5                                      A5        D5 C5 G5 F5

 That's keeping me from walking

 F5                                         A5    D5 C5 G5 F5

 Down along the winding road

 F5                     A5    D5 C5 G5 F5

 Back home to you



Bridge :



 Fsus2

 When all your songs cease to be

 G

 That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy

 Fsus2

 Where angels fly, you won't play

 E

 So guess who's gotta take the blame for

 

 F5           A5    D5 C5  G5 F5

 My big mouth

 F5                  A5    D5 C5 G5 F5

 And my big name

 F5                  A5                     D5    C5

 I put on my shoes while I'm walking

 G5                          F5       A5   D5 C5 G5

 Slowly down the hall of fame

 F5                A5     D5 C5 G5 F5

 Into my big mouth

F5                         A5     D5 C5 G5 F5

You could fly a plane

 F5                   A5                    D5   C5

 I put on my shoes while i'm walking

 G5              F5                    A5    D5 C5 G5

 Slowly down the hall of fame

 

 (VERSE 2)

 I ain't ever spoke to God

 And I ain't ever been to heaven

 But you assume I knew the way

 Even though I'm not worth giving

 As you look into the eye

 Of a bloody cold assassin

 Only then you realise

 This is what you have been missing



(CHORUS)





SOLO :



Key



7b9  = bend on fret 7 to pitch of string on fret 9

7/9 = string on fret 7, slide to fret 9

7h9 = string on fret 7, hammer to fret 9

7p9 = string on fret 9, pull off to fret 7

~7 = trill, vibrate note

X = "dead" note

NB the first bend is very slow, and released just as slowly.

Seeing as the song hasn't even been released yet, there's no "perfect" way of playing the solo - I've got 2 bootlegs of MBM and Noel plays it slightly differently in each of them. This is the version from Loch Lomond.
