A Slow Song
by Joe Jackson
Intro: C, Am, C, Am, C, Am, C
Verse 1:
Am C Am C
Music has charms they say
Am Gm7
But in some people's hands
Fm7 Dbmaj7 Fm7 Dbmaj7 Ab
It becomes a savage beast
Bb
Can't they control it
Ab Bb C
Why don't they hold it back
Verse 2:
You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
We need the energy
If not the sympathy
Bridge:
Eb Fm7
But I'm brutalized by bass
Eb Fm7
And terrorized by treble
Eb Fm7
I'm open to change my mood but
Eb Fm7
I always get caught in the middle
Chorus:
Dm7
And I get tired of DJ's
Why is it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to play us
C Am Fm7, A#, A, G
Play us a slow song (4 times. On the fourth do not play the G)
Verse 3:
It's late- I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me
Verse 4:
I feel your touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you
Bridge 2:
But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding
Repeat Chorus
Solo:
Ab, Bb (4 times)
Fm7
Repeat Chorus:
End with:
C, Am
