This is a first song from the Arcadia - side project of Duran Duran members -
Simon le Bonn, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor. It's pretty simple and classical for
new-wawe style :)
Before playing it in bass, you should put tune down on 1 step: DGDF
Intro tab (actually it plays on keyboards, but I adapted it for guitar):
E|------------------|------------------|------5-----------|
B|------------10-10-|-13--p-12-------6-|-8--p-------------|
G|------------10-10-|-14--p-12-----7---|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|------------------|
(In intro and in couplets bass plays always D)
Coplet 1:
DC
Wild kind of look to the day
AG
Opening eyes impale neon flickers

She moon she turning away

The city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress

She's moody and gray
G
She's mean and she's so restless (so restless)
Couplet 2:
DC
All over you as they say
AG
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
DC
Hi guys, by the way
AG
Are you aware you're being illegal
DCAG
It's making your saviour behaviour look evil
Chorus:
BmG
Maximum big surprise
BmE
Your smile is something new

I pull my shirt off and pray
A
We're sacred and bound
G
To suffer the heatwave
DC
Pull off my shirt and pray
AG
We're coming up on re-election day

Use your intuitive play

Insrumental "talking" part:
BmG
By roads and backways
AG
A lover's chance downwind
Cut open murmurs and sounds
Becalm hands on the skin
Carry further oh...
Entangled strands all sing
Saving some time to slip away
We could die oh...
End of "talking" part:

Shouldn't be asking

Wild.......and scheming

Could be my election day
Chorus:
BmG
Maximum big surprise
BmE
Your smile is something new
