D7M/F 100211

Help !!. The guitar is heavily distorted on the “Live” album so not sure if the

Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 are just a straightforward C and F (although they both fit OK !)

Other than the Em and G chords for the rhythm seems to be hit on the downstroke

with the strings damped.(not sure about the Dmaj7 with F in the bass though !!)

AmThere’s a very big girl all covered in bees

 And the dC7Mimples make faces in her knees

 And when they turn F7Maway from each other

 She whispers “Please, I’m Emjust the Gsame”

 And there’s a sAmkinny little pale boy covered in chlorine

C7MSitting on a cold step starting to daydream

 He F7Mwonders why he never could fit in

 He’s like a Emfish out of his Gbowl

 And it’s a D7Mthin line between special and strange

 It’s a Amvery thin line between freedom and I wanted

 To cEmhange who you are

 For what they might want you to Gbe

 And it’s a D7Mthin line between you and me

 And Amwhat you show and what they really see

 But if they turn Emaway just whisper

 “Please, I’m jGust the same”

 Now there’s a Ambeautiful woman all dripping in honey

 She’s sC7Mtanding on the green grass, you’d think she looked sunny

 She lF7Mooks up and smiles and for the first time it feels

 Like you Emmight just be withG it

 She says wD7Mhere have you been my brown-eyed boy

AmWhere have you been my pride and joy

 They Emfeel much better, you look much better

 Now that you’ve been Gso willing

 And it’s a D7Mthin line between special and strange

 It’s a Amvery thin line between freedom and I wanted

 To cEmhange who you are

 For what they might want you to Gbe

 And it’s a D7Mthin line between you and me

 And Amwhat you show and what they really see

 But if they tEmurn away just let them be

 They’re Gjust the same

 Now there’s a Amvery big girl all covered in bees

 And the dC7Mimples make faces in her knees

 And when they F7Mturn away from each other

 She whispers “Please, I’m Emjust the sGame” Am

ONE MORE WALK AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR

Chords: E 022100

EThe light doesn't work in the bathroom

 And my fG♯mriends are all waiting outside

 The sound of laBmughter rises up from the courtyard

 The children clAing to the skirts of the bride

 And the nEoise from outside shakes my windows

 You know this G♯mcity can sometimes taste sweet

 Of a perBmfume called "Diesel Vanilla"

 On the Anape of the neck of the street

 Think I'll take F♯mone more walk 'round the dance floor

 To make Bsus4sure that there's no one I've miBssed

 To make C♯msure that there's nobody Bhere who'll pretend

 That tonAight I really exist

C♯m B A

 So who cEares what the people are thinking

 As we sG♯mpill down the stairs to the door

 You know there are twBmenty-three reasons for drinking

 There ain't Aone to be flat out on the floor

 You know nEobody does what they should do

 No I G♯mdon't think I'll ever behave

 Though my clBmothes don't fit like they used to

 And It's tAoo dark in here for to shave

 And I take F♯mone more walk 'round the dance floor

 To make Bsus4sure that there's no one I've mBissed

 To make C♯msure that there's nobody hBere who'll admit

 That tonAight I really exist

C♯m B A

ESomeday I'll find myself somewhere G♯mI've never been before

BmAnd I will see you there the mAoment I'll open the door

EWe'll talk and be polite

G♯mAnd joke about destiny

SONG FOR THE TEMPTED

Chords used: Bm 004432

C+ Aug 004332 (or 000332 if its easier!)

Tips: Try to get the shuffle/rhythmn feel from the opening few bars

which starts with the strings being raked from high to low with a Bm chord

(the same applies to the Em7 chord before you hit G).

For the Bm,C+,D sequence just play the top four strings either

with a pick or your thumb (including Dd5 chord... hold a D chord

and slide your index finger down from 2nd to 1st fret)

BmI was thinking about the dCevil
