this is the acoustic demo of frightened rabbit’s “boxing night” it can be found on
the state hospital ep . i’ve used the lyrics from the mastered ep version of the
song which can be found on frightened rabbit’s soundcloud page . however , if you
have heard scott perform it on their youtube channel the lyrics will be slightly
different . i’ve marked asterisks next to altered lyrics .
chord instruction :
G5 – 3rd fret power
B5 – 7th fret power
C5 – 3rd fret power
D5 – 5th fret poewr
intro : G5 ( hammer the root note in all instances of this chord )
verse 1 :
G5
it’s boxing night ,
B5
( and ) i’ll celebrate in style
G5
in boxer shorts and spirits , floor littered
A5
with ghosts of bottles past
G5
there’s a naked hush
B5
clawed only in breath and of pulse
G5
of our heart that is kicking
A5 G5
as though it is desperate to be born
interlude : G5
verse 2 :
G5
and i’m in hostage blind
B5
deaf to the dim outside
G5
good glasgow could burn to it’s timber * tonight
A5
and i’d barely blink and i . . .
G5
well the clock just stopped
B5
you can cut that on my fxxking headstone *
G5
won’t something move so i stop
A5
staring a hole into the phone
chorus :
C5
you can get me at home
D5
with a drink to ill health
C5
just me and these walls
D5
and a beaten up chair
G5
on boxing day
interlude : G5 , B5 , G5 , A5
verse 3 :
G5
this is boxing night
B5
and someone lost an eye
G5
well i swear i’ve lost the last drop
A5
of whatever kept me awake alive
G5
and i fell in the forth
from a heavy right hook
B5
to our blushed and swollen face
G5
and in a single blow it’s murdered
A5
and then it takes years to waste away
G5
and i can’t call you all mine anymore
B5
and i can’t call you full stop
G5
but you know you can call me up anytime
A5
call me whatever the fxxk you want
chorus :
C5
you can get me at home
D5
with a drink to ill health
C5
just me and these walls
D5
and a beaten up chair
C5
you can get me at home
D5
with a drink to ill health
C5
just me and these walls
D5
and my beaten up chair
G5
on boxing day
outro : G5
* timber – this was ’bones’ instead when it was performed acoustically , but was
changed to this for the mastered ep version .
* you can cut that my fxxking headstone – was : you can put that on my fxxking headstone .
* with a drink to ill health – was : i’ll be drinking to death
