THE NIPS ARE GETTING BIGGER - Mental As Anything
Transcribed by Dan Schaumann
 
INTRO:
|This first bit is sort of like an 'intro to the intro' as can|
|be seen in the timing change. It is played only once, being |
|followed by the 'main guitar progression' straight away |

MAIN GUITAR PROGRESSION:
|Played three times - first time solo, second time with the |

|played over each verse |

G C D
Started out just drinking beer
G C D
I didn't know how or why or what I was doing there
G C D
Just a couple more made me feel a little better
G C D
Believe me when I tell you it was nothing to do with the letter

G C D
Ran right out of beer, I took a look into the larder
G C D
No bones nothing I'd better go and get something harder
G C D
Back in a flash I started on a dash of Jamaica Rum
G C D
Me and Pat Malone, drinking on our own
 
CHORUS:
 
G C D
Oh, the nips are getting bigger
G C D
Oh yeah, the nips are getting bigger
G C D
Oh, the nips are getting bigger
G C D
Yeah, they're getting bigger
 
REPEAT GUITAR BREAK
 
G C D
Sometimes I wonder what all these chemicals are doing to my brain
G C D
Doesn't worry me enough to stop me from doing it again
G C D
Wiping out brain cells by the million but I don't care
G C D
Doesn't worry me even though I ain't got a lot to spare
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
REPEAT GUITAR BREAK
 
(End by repeating first three power chords from guitar break)
