What I like about Fatman is [E] that I was a fan of _ _ [Ab] _ Flowers. _ _
_ So to [E] actually _ end up in the band _ is a _ [G] bit of a _ _ huge _ _ thrill for a start.
[G] But then play a song like Fatman, which is off the first album, which I [Ab] had and I used to listen to.
And then I'm on stage playing the damn [Db] song.
I'm like, God, _ I'm on stage playing with Ivor, _ _ playing _ [D] a song that I listened to when [Ab] I was 13.
_ _ I was still in high school.
I just started high school and now I'm playing with the guy.
[B] _ Serious. _ _ _
_ _ Fatman could possibly, _ it's up there [C] with the top three of my favourite [Ebm] songs to play.
It [B] is so, I know Ivor set out to [C] write an angel-style song, _ but it achieves that.
And it's in all the right spots on the guitar for the guitar to sound good.
Again, I used the Les Paul on that one [B] and I'm glad I got the Les Paul for that.
I used a _ Telecaster before that, but it's [Cm] just a pub rock song.
[B] It's a real pub [F] rock song.
We opened with it for a while and I loved opening with it.
I thought it was just a great opening track.
It just sort of grabs people, rips their heads off and I love playing it.
So the ethic of Fatman was just solid, simple guitar song.
And [Gb] then of course where it went wrong and became Flowers slash Icehouse was, but we had keyboards.
_ So you'll hear it go, _ [F] here's the opening of Fatman, which is clearly obviously the chorus.
It [Em] sounds like the angels.
And then [F] suddenly there's a [E] verse that sounds like, well, I don't [Eb] know what it sounds like.
It sounds like Icehouse. _ _ _ _ _ _
