(A) When I'm down, I make a call (E-E-A)

repeat intro

second verse:

I had something got to say to you

Amnesia in my train of thought

On the tip, the tip of my tounge

I had a vision when I was young

You floated in, we floated up

To a window and down the hall

I had a smoke and went upstairs

Turned the door and I opened the key, She spoke,

repeat pre-chorus

repeat chorus

She's (B) giving me the go. She's tight.

(E) She's (A) giving me the high sign

We'll (B) turn out the lights

(E) Pull down on the shades

She's nice (A)She's tight

(B) Turn on the camera (E)

Get (A)ready for action

She's nice (A)She's tight

(B) Turn off the radio (E)

(A)Turn on the video

repeat intro again twice, then do the outro a second time into fade

the outro takes practice, most especially because it goes from the last A

in the chorus to the B in the beginning of the outro, and your gut tells

you to jump to the E a measure too soon
