The ballroom blitz

Sweet

INTRO: 18 bars drums, then play RIFF four times It's been getting so hard living with the things you do to me {RIFF TWICE} My dreams are getting so strange I'd like to tell you everything I see {RIFF TWICE} {NO CHORD} I see a man at the back as a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her 'cause she thinks she's the passionate one Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening and the music was soothing and they all started grooving Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And the man at the back said "Everyone attack" and it turned into a ballroom blitz And the girl in the corner said "Boy I wanna warn you" and it turned into a ballroom blitz Ballroom blitz {repeat 4 times} {RIFF TWICE} I'm reaching out for something touching nothing's all I ever do {RIFF TWICE} I softly call you over When you appear there's nothing left of you {RIFF TWICE} Now the man at the back is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky And the girl in the corner is everyone's moaner she could kill you with a wink of her eye Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic And the band started leaping 'cause they all stopped breathing Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Chorus Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening and the music was soothing and they all started grooving Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Chorus It's, it's a ballroom blitz {repeat 3 times} Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz REPEAT RIFF AND FADE ..... And here's the RIFF (or at least an easy way to get close): E------------------------ B------------------------ G--9--(9)-(9)-(9)-9------ D--9--11--12--11--9------ A--7--7---7---7---7------ E--7--7---7---7---7------ (9) means that you can leave the note out without anyone noticing if you can't stretch your fingers like this :)
