Frank Black and the Catholics
Song: I Switched You

so it wouldn’t be so clumped together.

VERSE:
I was alone in my big bed 
those lonely nights I tried to reach you
your putting me on
messed with my head 
but have you heard I'm going to teach you

BRIDGE:
You will find out that you miss my lovin' ways
But don't you know I switched you - switched you

CHORUS:
I switched you
I switched you
I switched you

VERSE II**
I hear that sound
that clickety-clack
that train returning who bewtiched me
now you're around you want to come right back
forget about the way you ditched me

BRIDGE

IVC’s ONCE

BRIDGE

BRIDGE 2 (played for a while.)
Messed my head messed my head
why you going putting me why you going putting me why you going putting me on?
t-t-t-tell me why

BRIDGE and then go back to BRIDGE 2 again.

INTRO

BRIDGE

IVC’s once

BRIDGE

more IVC’s

  OUTRO:
E---------------------------
B---------------------------
G---------------------------
D--~7~--5-------5-------5--- repeat
A-----------7---5---7-------
E---------------------------
  ~ = bend


* I think this is how I play this part. I just play and it comes out right. 
So Fiddle around with it and you’ll get it. On that second and fourth chord, 
I think he might play the open G string. 

** just play the second part of the INTRO/VERSE/CHORUS chords for 
   this verse
