Chords

I haen't seen any attempts to figure this one out, so I figured I'd give it a stab. is one of my favorites off one of my favorite Duran albums, Big Thing. I don't think I've seen such odd chords/key changes before, but here goes!! Intro: Hold the note Bb - it interchanges between Bb and G#. (low E string 6th fret and E string 4 fret) The whole beginning part is basically single notes rather than chords written that way. The chords are tough to pick out, (they are probably Bb and G# but are too hard to hear!)

Bb
She lays on the wall

watching the strangers drift away

           Bb    G#
mid-day's ore--thick

with the sun of Arabia

     Bb             G#
she surrenders her voices

Bb
they gather, on the wind

talkin, chanting, breathing

                C#-F-Bb-C#
into her body...yesterday

F - C# - (C#-D# - E - F#) (walkup)

         Bb
Awakened beside

G#                 Bb
the scent of burnt sugar--on the skin

             G#
painting eyes--thick

Bb
with the color she brings in

Bb
oh, and sure and strong

when the lightning tumbles down don't you frown everything will be in time for this evening (Start Chords)
