Chords for The Suburbs on Night Times Variety 1981 1. Cigarette In Backwards

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Good evening everyone and welcome once again.
Thank you.
The excitement level here tonight is higher than it's ever been on Variety.
Reservations
for our studio audience were filled after the first mention of this show two weeks ago,
due of course to our featured guest tonight, an irresistible and eccentric rock and roll
combo called The Suburbs.
[B] The Suburbs are five men from Minneapolis suburbs whose music
[F#] has brought [N] attention to some of the nation's brightest rock critics.
The latest LP, Credit
in Heaven, is listed among the best albums of 1981 all throughout the country.
Of course,
many of you are already suburbs fans and for those of you who might not be too familiar
with their music, I suggest that you do stay tuned for this next half hour.
The Suburbs
are not your ordinary rock group.
They are articulate in both lyrics and music and in
a way that does set them apart.
Visually, you'll find them as witty and swank as the
innovative music that they're going to be playing for us tonight.
Please welcome The Suburbs.
