*************************************************

(NOTE: These chords are really for Gene Pitney's original; Cave does it in

a lower key, but I haven't bothered to check out which. - Trond.)

(Gm)Something's gotten hold of my (F)heart

Keeping my (Eb)soul and my (D7)senses a(Gm)part

Something's gotten into my (F)life

Cutting it's (Eb)way through my (D7)dreams like a (Gm)knife

(F)Turning me (Eb)up, and (D7)turning me (Gm)down

(F)Making me (Eb)smile, and (D7)making me (Gm)frown

(Gm)In a world that was (F)small

I once lived in a (Bb7)time that was (Eb)peace and no (D7)troubles at (Gm)al=

l

But then you came my (F)way

And a feeling (of) un(Gm)known shook my (F)heart,

made me (C7)want you to (F)stay

(C7)All of my (F)nights, and (C7)all of my (Eb)days

(D7) (yeah I gotta tell you now)

(Gm)Something's gotten hold of my (F)hand

Dragging my (Eb)soul to a (D7)beautiful (Gm)land

Yeah, something has invaded my (F)night

Painting my (Eb)sleep with a (D7)colour so (Gm)bright

(F)Changing the (Eb)grey, and (D7)changing the (Gm)blue

(F)Scarlet for (Eb)me, and (D7)scarlet for (G)you

(C) (G) (Em) (A)

I (A7)got to know if this is the real thing

I (A9)got to know it's making my heart sing

Wo-hoo-(D)o-ye-e-e-e-e e-(D9)

You (D7)smile and I am lost for a lifetime

Each (D9)minute spent with you is the (D7)right time

Every hour, every day

You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah

Baby, baby

(Gm)Something's gotten hold of my (F)hand

Dragging my (Eb)soul to a (D7)beautiful (Gm)land

Something has invaded my (F)night

Painting my (Eb)sleep with a (D7)colour so (Gm)bright

(F)Changing the (Eb)grey, and (D7)changing the (Gm)blue

=46)Scarlet for (Eb)me, and (D7)scarlet for (Gm)you

(* Play the Bb7 as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right,

i.e. 686766. - Trond.)

Comments from: Paul McMullan <MCMULLAN@alkali.otago.ac.nz>:

The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they

should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For

example, (F)scarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of

the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always

correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree

with the chord (or note) in the piano notation.
