 E  B  C#m  A  E

               C#5
 You pack your bag, you take control

               B
 You're moving into my heart and into my soul

               C#5
 Get out of my way! Get out of my sight!

            B
 I won't be walking on thin ice to get throught the night

                  E                 C#m
 Hey where's your work? What's your game?

             A
 I know your business but I don't know your name...


 E                                          B
 Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous

                            C#m
 She's got what it takes to make ends meet,

                          A
 The eyes of a lover that hit like heat

                             E
 You know she's a little bit dangerous


          C#5
 You turn around, so hot and dry,

               B
 You're hiding under a halo, your mouth is alive

               C#5
 Get out of my way! Get out of my sight!

           B
 I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight

                 E                 C#m
 Hey what's your word? What's your game?

             A
 I know your business but I don't know your name...


 E                                          B
 Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous

                            C#m
 She's got what it takes to make ends meet,

                          A
 The eyes of a lover that hit like heat

                             E
 You know she's a little bit dangerous

                      B
 Oh just a little bit dangerous...


 [Harmonica / guitar solo*]


                  E                 C#m
 Hey what's your word? What's your game?

             A
 I know your business but I don't know your name...

"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!"

(here's the first guitar riff)

 C#m
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever

(here's the second guitar riff)

                                         G#m
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal
           F#  F#+  F#*  F#  B
they won't heal.

[Chorus]

Cos every time I seem to fall in love
             B*       B
Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the heart but then I hit the wall
             B*
Crash! Boom! Bang!
           C#               A
That's the call, that's the game
        E              B
and the pain stays the same

[Verse 2]

I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I'm still breaking the rules
I kick it up
I kick it down.

[Chorus]

Cos every time ...
          C#          A
That's my real middle-name
       E               B
It has always been the same
           C#               A
That's the call, that's the game
        E              B
and the pain stays the same.


[Bridge]

 Em               C
I still feel the heat     /Slowly fallin' from the sky/
        G            D
and the taste of the kissing
 Em           C
Shattered by rain       /Comin' tumblin' from behind/
        G         D
And the wild holy war

C#m  G#m  ... (something like that)

 F#  F#+  F#*  F#

I kick it up I kick it down

[Chorus]

And every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same
That's my real middle-name
It has always been the same...


I play the chords like this:

    C# G# F# F#+ F#* B B* A E

 E   4  4  6  7   4   7 7  5 4

Church of your heart

 Written by Per Gessle
 Trans. Ben Sinclair (ssusncla+rdg.ac.uk)


 Normal tuning.

 Intro: 2 guitars, so basically just strum the verse.

 G* D C D
 G* D C D


 Verse:
          G                  D
 Can't we leave the world outside

            C                 D
 just for a while? Just for a while?

                G             D
 And spend some time, you and I,

            C               D
 under this bright glorious sky.

             E                   D
 It's been so long since I first saw you

                 A     C             D
 But I still love that smile in your eyes.


 Chorus:

          G       C            D
 Yes it's true, right from the start,

          C                       D
 I believed in the church of your heart.

          G         G         D
 Yes it's you that made me be part of

           C                       D
 and believe in the church of your heart.


 2nd Verse:

 Step inside, lay yourself down
 just for a while, rest for a while
 I can hear a thundering sound
 beating inside when you're around.
 It's been so long since I first met you,
 since we made love, you know how time flies.

 Chorus:


 Yes it's true, right from the start,
 I believed in the church of your heart.
 Yes it's you that made me be part of
 and believe in the church of your heart.
 In the church of your heart.

 Solo:

 A----------------3--2----------------
 E--------------------3-3-h5-5--3-5---
                                ^^^^
 This phrase is repeated, with the indicated bit
 changed slightly. I'd really have to get a better
 recording to tell what it is, though.

 Then these slightly heavier chords:

 B B B D xx A
 B B B D xx A

 The xx being muted.

 The last choruses are shifted up by a whole tone:

          A       D            E
 Yes it's true, right from the start,

          D                       E
 I believed in the church of your heart.

          A         D         E
 Yes it's you that made me be part of

           D                       E
 and believe in the church of your heart.


 And the song ends on:

 B B B D xx A
 B B B D xx A

It must have been love

 F        C
Lay a whisper on my pillow,
        F             G
leave a winter on the ground
              C                   F
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
       Dm               G
in the bedroom and all around
             Am          C              F
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away

 G                       C
It must have been love, but its over now
 F                     Dm      Am
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
 G                      C
It must have been love but its over now
 F                 Dm                Am
from the moment we touched till the time had run out

 G    C
Make believing, we're together
         F                 G
that I'm sheltered by hour heart
           C                      F
But in and outside I've turned to water
           Dm              G
like a teardrop in your palm
          Am             C             F
And its hard, winter's day, I dream away

 G                       C
It must have been love, but its over now
 F                 Dm         Am
It was all I wanted, now I'm living without
 G                      C
It must have been love but its over now
 Gm            C                           Bb
Its where the water flows, its where the wind blows

I am not sure about end part ...

   C                  F
It must have been love but its over now
 Bb(?)                    Gm(?)    Dm
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
 C                      F                  Bb
It must have been love, but its over now, from the moment we touched
 Gm       Dm              C
till the time had run out. Yeah it must have been love .. repeat and fade

Fading like a flower

Roxette - Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)

Trans. Ben Sinclair (ssusncla+rdg.ac.uk)

 A#
[Verse 1]

In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made out of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind
To see the world through different eyes...

[Chorus]

 F          A#             D     C
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
 F  G  A  A#                 C         F
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
 F              A#               D        C             A# *  C
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower

 I once new a girl I can't remember her name
 But I remember her face cos her sister looked the same.

 They both left school, but they couldn't find a job
 So they said farewell and stole a small town car.

 C            A#m           G
 As they were riding by the beach some summer night
     C     A#m           G                                            F
 the radio shouted out one of those songs that might just change your life

 It went like this:

  D        G           A
 "Checkin' in checkin' out
  D      G            A               D            Bm
  Making love I like watching all your fireworks
            G                  A             E
  I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
            G       C        D
  Just like fireworks in the sky"

 Yes it did.


 Throwing some poems to the ports and docks
                                     D         C      G
 They were sleeping outdoors puching all their luck

 They sent me a letter full of pills and thrills
                                      D       C
 Then they both got rich and moved to Hollywood Hills.

 C             A#m           G
 Yea they made lots of money playing folk guitar
 C        A#m                 G                                 F
 Cos everywhere the boys went crazy just to hear these words of art:

 [CHORUS] as before,
 & harmonica solo: just play  D A D A throughout

  E        A           B
 "Checkin' in checkin' out   (take it to the sky)
  E      A            B               E            C#m
  Making love I like watching all your fireworks
            A                  B             F#
  I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
            A       D        E
  Just like fireworks in the sky"

 They're coming to get you
 They're coming to get you now   (right now)
 Coming to get you now

Joyride

Intro: (assorted fairground-type noises)

   a      g/a    d/a     a                            g/a
Hello you fool I love you, c'mon join the joyride
 A

 Hit the road out of nowhere, had to jump in my car
 Be a rider in the love game, following the stars
 D                            Bm                       A
 Don't need no book of wisdom, I get no money-talk at all

 She has a train going downtown, she's got a club on the moon
 And she's telling all her secrets in a wonderful balloon
 D                              Bm                                 A
 She's the heart of the funfair, she got me whistling her private tune

       E     D             A
And it all begins where it ends
          E          D
And she's all my, my magic friend...

             A      G      D       A                         D
She says "Hello you fool I love you, c'mon join the joyride,
         A
Join the joyride"

She's a flower - I can paint her, she's a child of the sun
We're a part of this together, could never turn around and run
Don't need no fortune teller to know where my lucky love belongs, oh no.

Cause it all begins again when it ends
And we're all magic friends...

She says "Hello you fool I love you, c'mon join the joyride,
Join the joyride"
She says "Hello you fool I love you, c'mon join the joyride,
Be a joyrider"

I'll take you on a skyride, feeling like you're spellbound
 A5       A6   A5 A6   A5
Sunshine is a la-dy - rocks you like a baby

She says "Hello you fool I love you, c'mon join the joyride,
Join the joyride"
 [Next line is sung without guitar]
Hello you fool I love you, c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
Hello, hello you fool I love you,
C'mon, c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider
Roxette!

[Whistling]
............

The main guitar for the song is a heavily distorted electric - hence you've go
to play the song with lots of palm muting and avoid sloppiness or else it's
going to sound like a mess.

The riff going into the first verse is:
  +   +   +   +     +  +  +  +
 |-----------------|-------------|
 |-----------------|-------------|
 |----/6--/6---4p2-|-------------|
 |-----------------|-2-----------|
 |-0---------------|-0-----------|
 |-----------------|-------------|

Play the following over the verse:
  +   +   +   +     +   +   +       +
 |-----------------|-------------------------|
 |-----------2-3-2-|-------------------------|
 |-----------2-2-2-|-------------------------|  x2
 |-----------2-2-2-|-------------------------|
 |-----------------|-------------0-------0---|
 |-----------------|---------3h5---0-3b------|

  + + + +   + + + +   +       +       +   +     +       +       +   +
 |---------|---------|-------------------------|-------------------------|

 |---------|-2-------|-----0-------0-----------|-------------0-----------|
 |---------|---------|-3h5---0-3b--------------|-3h5---0-3b--------------|

Play all that again, omitting the last two bars the second time.

The following is played for the pre-chorus ("And it all begins.."):

  +    +   +   +     + + + +   +     +       +       +
 |------------------|---------|-------3---------------3---|

 |-7---5---|----0----|-----------------|---------|-0-------|---------|
 |-5---3---|---------|-----------------|---------|---------|---------|

The fills from the first two verses are approximated in the next verse by synt
and acoustic twelve string guitar. The electric comes back in on "Don't need n
fortune teller".

The first 6 bars of the solo are doubled an octave above by synth. There's 4
things you could do about this:
a) Forget about it
b) Play it an octave up. This will be played something like this:
 +        +
 -10p9-------------
 --------10--------
 ----------11--12--
 ------------------
 ------------------
 ------------------
c) Get a friend to play it an octave up as above whilst you play the lower bit
d) Use an octave pedal or a pitch shifter set at an octave above. Don't forget
to turn it off after 6 bars, though

Solo:
  +       +       +   +     +       +       +   +         + + + +   + + + +

Go to sleep

 There's a shadow on the terrace,
 a snow dance for the living.
 There's heavy weather on the way,
 I heard it on the news.

 And life's a tough principal who won't reward the losers.
 Your name is on the tea-cup,
 there's nothing I can do.

                         F                   D            C
 But to wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
                    A#                             F
 and I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.

 There are tears without the colour,
 a million seas without water
 an ocean full of people
 where shattered hearts can go.

 And love's a golden ripple where answers are so simplee
 but the explanations are very hard to do.

                         F                   D            C
 And I wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
                    A#                             F
 and I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.

 (repeat intro riff until song ends)

 Go to sleep.

Small talk

 Written by Per Gessle
 Trans. Ben Sinclair (ssusncla+rdg.ac.uk)
 18/5/1995


 It's not the chapters he reads when you're feeling low down.


 It's not the touch of his skin when you kiss him goodnight.

                                                     C         F C G
 It's not the money he spends when you want to buy a daydream.

                                               C       F C G
 and not that miracle smile that makes the sky bright.

                                                        C      C
 It's not the way his hands behave when you turn out the light.



 [Chorus 1]:

          D     G           A         G            D       G A G
 It's the small small small talk that makes it all happen.

 D     G           A         G                 B    A      G      B A
 Small small small talk that makes you want to fly, yes it does.

                                            D         G D A
 It's not the way he beleives in you like a religeon.

                                                        D      G D A
 It's not the thrill that you get when he's holding you tight.

                                                    D      D
 It's not the way his eyes persuade you to stay the night.

 [riff 1] [riff 2]

 A
 Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer,
 she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter,
 tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look.
 Heavenly bound cause heaven's got a number
 when she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour,
 her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look.

 [riff 2]
               A                   A
 She's got the look. She's got the look.
                                                   A
 What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
                                          A
 When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
           G           D
 and I go: la la la la la she's got the look.

 A
 Fire in the ice,
 naked to the T-bone is a lover's disguise.
 Banging on the head drum,
 shaking like a mad bull, she's got the look.

 [riff 2]

 A
 Swaying to the band,
 moving like a hammer, she's a miracle man.
 Loving is the ocean,
 kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look.

 Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer,
 she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter,
 tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look.

 And she goes: na na na na na na na na.


 The rest of the song is just choruses and riff 2's as required.

 The verses are mainly played on the bass, but a guitar can
 play: A C G if you like.

The rain

From: Carol Vorderman 

 Written by Per Gessle
 Trans. Ben Sinclair (ssusncla+rdg.ac.uk)

 Basically...
 For the intro and verses just play C and G
 Its a little more complicated than that but
 not much.


 I was raised the northern way
 and my farther had a northern name,
 I did my crying out in the pouring rain.
 And a season turned into another one,
 I found a heart bright like the morning sun.
 He touched my lips, so softly,
 with his fingertips.

 C                          C
 I've kept the rain falling down on me
         F             G
 all the time, all the time.
 C                          C
 I've kept the rain falling down on me
         F             G
 all the time, all the time.

Vulnerable

Words & Music by Per Gessle

Trans. Vaclav Subrta (xsubv01+jms.vse.cz)

[Verse 1]
 E                           g#m
Everywhere I look I see her smile
                  A
Her absent-minded eyes
    f#m                              E
And she has kept me wondering for so long
                        B
How this thing could go wrong

   E                                g#m
It seems to me that we are both the same
                 A
Playing the same game
       f#m                                  E
But as darkness falls this true love falls apart
                     C#
Into a riddle of her heart

[Chorus]
         F#          F#*         B           C#
She's so vulnerable,        like china in my hands
         F#          F#*        B            C#
She's so vulnerable         and I don't understand
 F#            F#*            B
I could never hurt the one I love
               C#
She's all I've got
             F#            C#
But she's so vulnerable
      F#
Oh so vulnerable


[Verse 2]
Days like these no one should be alone
No heart should hide away
Her touch is gently conquering my mind
There's nothing words can say

She's coloured all the secrets of my soul
I've whispered all my dreams
But just as nighttime falls this vision falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart

[Chorus]
She's so vulnerable ...



Note:

   F#  F#*
 e  5   5
 B  6   5
 G  5   5
 D  4   4
 A  4   4
 E  x   x

I don't know how to name the F#* chord (if you know it, please feel
free to e-mail me)

If you use a capo on 4th fret (it's the best way how to play it),
you can play E like C, g#m like em, A like F, f#m like dm, B like G,
C# like A and F# like D.
