Chords

Zenyatta Mondata 1980 This song is about the way 'upper class' people use words to confuse and manipulate people. The chords are easier than they look. [Intro] |Aadd9| |Aadd9| |Eadd9| |Eadd9 D| |Aadd9| |E7sus4/A| |Eadd9| |Eadd9 D| |Aadd9| |E7sus4/A| |Eadd9| |Eadd9 D| |Aadd9| |E7sus4/A| |Eadd9| |Eadd9 D| [Verse]
A          F#m    C#m
Don't think me unkind

A         F#m      C#m
Words are hard to find

A             F#m                C#m
They're only cheques I've left unsigned

A                  F#m         C#m
From the banks of chaos in my mind

D                          E
And when their eloquence escapes me

D                          E        D
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
[Chorus]
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you

  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

      Eadd9                          D
Their innocence will pull me through

  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you

  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

        Eadd9                           D
They're meaningless and all that's true
Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no-one's jamming their transmission 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you [Chorus]
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you

  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

      Eadd9                          D
Their innocence will pull me through

  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you

  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da

        Eadd9                           D
They're meaningless and all that's true
