It's been a while, but I have another guitar tab. The previous tab at
Chalkhills is close, but it has a few errors in it. - Austin

1977 / 1978 "White Music" Album Version.

I'm not sure I got the strum pattern 100% right, but this should get you close.

I do try making tabs as accurate as I can, down to variant ways
of playing in an individual verse or chorus.

Lyrics are in quotation marks, notes (that is, comments about the
song) are between brackets beneath sections of the guitar tab.

(In this version, the highest 2 strings aren't necessarily played all the time.
In the Live Version [in Transistor Blast, Disc 3,] it's the opposite; the
highest 4 strings are played, and the lowest 2 are not. Do feel free to mix
it up for the fun of it.)

Hiya,
Here are some corrections to the chords posted for "New town animal in
furnished cage".
The proper chords go:


Bm         Dm7                 A
I think my watch has bust and so has time
I borrowed all my love so nothings mine

F               G                A
There's nothing decent on the TV page

D               E           A              C#6
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage

It's gone eleven and the bar is shut
I'm sitting waiting like a real good mutt
I watch TV with an actor's rage
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage


Thanks for your truly great site about this truly great band, cheers

My guitar teacher is an XTC fan like me, and he told me to try to figure out
some songs as homework assignments.  I've been really into "New Town Animal"
all week, so I took a stab at it.  I'm pretty sure these are right.
