KEYBOARD INTRO:
D(bass note only, muted with plectrum hand, playing 8th notes) / / / |
/ / / / G(D) D A(D) A(D) D
BAND IN:
G(D) / D / A(D) / D / G(D) / D / A(D) / D /VERSE I:
They say that love often passes in a second, and
G(D) D A(D) DYou can never catch it up, so I'm
Hanging on to you as though eternity beckoned, but it's
Em7Clear that the match is rough
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
A7(sus4) A7After a piece of that diamond in you, So
A7(sus4) A7Keep an eye open, My
Spirit ain't broken, Your
CLove's so incredible, Your
GBody's so edible, You
Give me an overdose of love,
A7But just a little is enough.
G(D) D A(D) D G(D) D A(D)VERSE II:
I'm like a connoseiur of champagne cognac, The
G(D) D A(D) DPerfume nearly beats the taste
I eat an oyster and I feel the contact, But
Em7More than one would be a waste
Some people want an endless line, that's true, But
A7(sus4) A7All I have to have's a little time with you, A
A7(sus4) A7Smile sets me reeling, A
Kiss feels like stealing, Your
CLove is like heroin, This
GAddict is mellowing,
I can't pretend that I'm tough,
A7When just a little is enough.
G(D) D A(D) D G(D) D A(D) D*** INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
Dm / / / C(no 3rd) | Dm [etc, repeated ad infinitum]
Just like a sailor heading into the sea, There's a
G(D) D A(D) DGale blowing in my face, The
G(D) D A(D)High wind scares me but I need the breeze, And I
Can't head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack, But
Even a hurricane won't turn me back, You
A7(sus4) A7Might be an island, on the
BmDistant horizon, but the
Little I see looks like
GHeaven to me, and I don't
A7(sus4)Care if the ocean gets rough,
'Cause just a little is enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | x 4
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
[Repeat all chords from "They say that love often passes" . . . "match
is
rough"]
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
A7(sus4) A7After a piece of that diamond in you, So
A7(sus4) A7Keep an eye open, My
Spirit ain't broken, Your
CLove's so incredible, Your
GBody's so edible, You
Give me an overdose of love,
A7But just a little is enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | [repeat to fade]
*** This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord
(or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only
'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for
the
tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the
end/start of each bar.
This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections
towards
the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same
way.
