  • Tuning: E (basic/normal)
     
    It's a great song, there most successful, and, this is my adapted version of the
  • chords, which is easier to play, but sounds exactly the same.
    I do know all the words, and have written them at the end, but on the tab I just
    wrote them at each chord change. Strum all the strings, i didn't put -0-0- etc.
  • on each string not in use cos it looked too crowded, but its strumming all 6
    strings, and holding the frets.

    lyrics
     
  • Verse 1
    now i've got a cousin called kevin,
    who's sure to go to heaven,
  • always spotless clean and neat,
    as smooth as you do get 'em,
    he's got a fur-lined sheep skin jacket,
  • my mother says it cost a packet,
    she won't even let me explain,
    that me and kevin we just look the same,
  •  
    Chorus
    oh my perfect cousin,
  • what i like to do he doesn't,
    he's the families pride and joy,
    he's mummy's little golden boy,
  •  
    Verse 2
    he's got a degree in economics,
  • maths, physics, and bionics,
    he thinks that i'm a cabbage,
    cos i hate university challenge,
  • even at the age of ten,
    smart boy kevin was a smart boy then,
    he always beat me a subuteo,
  • cos he flicked the kick, and i didn't know,
     
    Chorus
  • oh my perfect cousin,
    what i like to do he doesn't,
    he's the families pride and joy,
  • he's mummy's little golden boy,
     
    Verse 3
  • his mother bought him a synthesiser,
    got the human league in to adviser her,
    now he's making lot's of noise,
  • playing along with the art school boys,
    girls try to attract his attention,
    but what a shame, it's in vain, total rejection,
  • he won't ever be left on the shelf,
    cos kevin, he's in love with himself,
     
  • Chorus
    oh my perfect cousin,
    what i like to do he doesn't,
  • he's the families pride and joy,
    he's mummy's little golden boy.
