Flahive This is a really great song, and it's not too hard to play. Use a wah. Listen to the cd to get the wah effects down. Intro: A---2---0h2-0h2--0-----0h2-0----------------------| E-----------------------------3--2--0--0-2-3-2-0--| x4 D5\B5 Follow this pattern during the verse: (B5) x x x | x x x A5|B5 x x x | x x x D5\|B5... 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1...etc. Use the wah with the mutes. Follow the guitar pattern on the cd or come up with your own funky rythyms. VERSE 1:

^D5 ^B5 My lust it ties me up in chains ^A5 ^B5 My skin catches fire at the mention of your name ^D5 ^B5 No matter what I tried 2 do ^A5 ^B5 I could not lose it ^D5 ^B5 Now I know my heart is being used ^A5 ^B5 But what I'm not allowed to have I never could refuse ^D5 ^B5 No matter what I tried 2 do ^A5 ^B5 I stood accused

INTERLUDE:

^FI..... r^Ceply..... that I don'^Bmt believe I'm ev^Aer gonna d^Fie..... I do^Cn't Do u^D?

CHORUS:

Blam^Bme, deny, ^Abetray, di^Gvide ^A A li^Bme, the t^Aruth, which one sh^Gall I use? ^A Whatcha gonna do? I know ^Bm ^A Whatcha gonna do? I know, I kn^Gow, I know ^A

(note: 1st guitar solos over the chorus. 2nd sticks to the chords.) VERSE 2 (same as verse 1): Your sanctimony is showing my dear The acrimony hangs in the air Beware of who u trust in this world Beware the lies about 2 unfurl INTERLUDE (same as above, repeated twice): I..... reply..... that I don't believe I'm ever gonna die.....
