One of the so many less popular great Killers songs. This is a really
simple basic way to play it. Enjoy :]
Intro:
C/G G A# Michael plays with stars F Dm A Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car C/G Late to call G C When you wanted to be all G A# Baby, baby, don't be so shy F Dm Rock children hold your heads up high A C In the night while I try G And tell the ballad of Valentine C You got it bad, but you know it's true
Verse:
C I caught up with a friend in Dallas Em We took a trip to New Orleans Am Those black-eyed ladies F G Won't say they're sorry C We finally caught a train to Memphis Em Where everybody talks the same Am Those blue suede babies F G All know my name
Chrous:
C And I said hold tight G A Can't you see that it's hurting me E D C E But I've got the buzz Am Like Marlon Brando C F G Michael Valentine, can't we unite?
Verse:
C We ended up in North Dakota Em Although my heart's in Mexico Am My muñequita F G Abre tus ojos C Em With your new suit, and your black tie Am F G Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like Dm G I broke to the right and I caught your eye C Am Shut your mouth and wave goodbye F G Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade
Chorus:
C And I said hold tight G A Can't you see that it's hurting me E D C E But I've got the buzz Am Like Marlon Brando C F G Straight faced with misery tonight C G A And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more E D C E But I've got the buzz Am Like Greta Garbo C F Walking forward to the sun G Am And I've got a coat tail left to ride F Well uh oh C G I know he's gonna be there tonight
Outro - C
