Classic by The Motels - Slow & heavy on the bass note for each chord; the first 2 chords
D#) in the intro are a small build-up to the opening sequence of E & A. After the
it goes back to the D,G,A pattern in the first verses, then more of the same in the
listen to the song & you'll get it.
Intro. D,D#,( E,A )x2, D
D
1. Looking counter-clockwise
Knowing what could happen
G A
Any moment maybe you, maybe even you
2. Steadfast collapse
Always certain any moment
Maybe you, maybe you, maybe even you
3. Recline complete
Dream too sweet
I can’t do it not with you, not even with you
D
Maybe never with you
B C# D A
Chorus. And I'd sell my soul for total control
B C# D A
Yeah I'd sell my soul for total control
4. Street wet tonight
Lover’s touch, it’s pure delight
Always certain, any moment, maybe even you
5. Stay in bed, stained sheets
My head hurts, I repeat
Maybe you, maybe you
Maybe even you
Chorus. And I'd sell my soul for total control
Yeah I'd sell my soul for total control
B C# D E
I'd sell my soul for total control
Outro.
