Song: Not A Dull Moment
Artist: Bad Astronaut
Album: Houston: We Have A Drinking Problem

Tabbed by Arthur Ellem

ok, someone emailed me to tab this song out, so here it is. This is one mad 
song. Fiddle with the chords yourself if you want it to sound more like the 
album version, but it doesnt really matter that much - its more in the 
singing anyways! here it goes:

D                                               G
  I remember well the smell of tequila
D                                                   F#
One bed, one bath, two months with Steph
            G
Drinkin' up the sunrise
A
Then sleep till eight at night
D                                          G
I had a ten day birthday till Thanksgiving
D                                       F#
We burnt the bird and hit the road
           G        A                                 D
Blur in stereo, sonic bookmarks and bad scenes
                    F#        B           A           G              A
But not a dull moment, I barely miss living in Los Angeles
D                                       G
Only took a week to start the warfare
D                                 F#   (timing here is tricky)
Eccentric neighbors on welfare
            G                                       A
The turntable spun to the beat of pounding on the walls
D5                                          G5
We'd sink another drink with Billy Idol
D                                              F#
Have sloppy sex on the living room floor
G                                             A
A whirlwind of simple pleasure principal
                        D
Principles are gone
                     F#
It's not a dull moment
  B         A           G                   A           B5
I barely miss living in that selfish bliss with Steph
          G5                   D5            A5
And I always have the past to be warned
B5      G5                    D5                 A5
And I always knew the last laugh was more
C5           A                        G                E5
And I can taste the gold ring tarnish in my mouth
                   C5  D5                   G    Gsus4
And I need a drink to wash it out
                    B
It's not a dull moment
E5          D5          C5                  D5
I barely miss living in that state of filth
        G5
So I cleaned the yard, the yard, the yard
B5                                           E5
Mow the lawn, scrub the stained rug
      D5        C5           D5                G  (a number of times)
So what? It's safe and sound I have found

There it is! I've tried to put the chords where they come in above the 
words. I'm not 100% sure about this section:
C5           A                        G                E5
And I can taste the gold ring tarnish in my mouth
                   C5  D5                   G    Gsus4
And I need a drink to wash it out

but i tried heaps of different ways and this generally sounded the best and
most spot on. damn joey cape and his far superior skills. also, lots of the
notes are played on their higher octave (ie 8 frets up on the above string)
but it dont really matter unless u got 2 guitars and a bass playing it). If 
you've seen these guys live, send me an email telling me what they were 
like. would b greatly appreciated!
