Midnight Show The Killers
Okay, these are the EXACT RIGHT CHORDS, and you can play them exactly this
way if you want. Being that I'm using a ukulele, I play it differently
because some of these chords don't even exist in ukulele world. I don't know
how my simplified version would sound on a guitar, but you can give it a
shot.
My simplified chords:
Em7 = Em
Em7/B = B
Em7/A = Em
Em7/G = Em
Em/G = G
Em7/D = D
D/F# = D
The simplification probably won't work on a guitar, but maybe it will.
Anyway, here is the COMPLETE AND UNSIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE SONG
TUNE YOUR GUITAR DOWN A SEMITONE (though I don't, and it sounds fine.)
Intro:
Em7 - Em7 - Em7/B - Em7/B - Em7/A - Em7/A - Em/G - Em/D
[Em7]I know what you want
I wanna t[Em7/B]ake you to a midnight show tonight
If [Em7]you can keep a secret
I've got a [Em7/B]blanket in the backseat on my mind,
And a [C]little place that [Bm]sits beneath the [Em7]sky.
She [C]turned her face to [Bm]speak,
But no one [D]heard her cry.
-mute------- Em7 Em7/B
Drive faster, boy-----
[Em7/A] [Em/G] [Em7/D]
Drive faster, boy-----Yeah--
[Em7]I know there's a hope.
There's too many [Em7/B]people trying to help me cope.
You've got a [Em7]real short skirt,
I wanna [Em7/B]look up, look up, look up, yeah, yeah.
[Em7]We were just in time,
Let me take a [Em7/B]little more off your mind.
There's [Em7]something in my head,
Somewhere in the back said:
[Em7/B]We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing.
[C]Make it go aw[Bm]ay without a [Em7]word.
But [C]promise me you'll [Bm]stay,
and fix these [D]things I've hurt.
-mute strings----- Em7 Em7/B
Oh make it go away, oh----.
Drive faster,[Em7/G] boy--[Em/G]--, yea[Em7/D]h, oh no,
Solo:
Em7 - Em7 - Em7/B - Em7/B - Em7/A - Em7/A - Em/G - Em/D
A [C]crashing tide can't [Bm]hide a guilty [Em7]girl.
With [C]jealous hearts that [Bm]start with gloss and [Em7]curls.
I [C]took my baby's [Bm]breath, beneath the [Am]chandelier.
Of stars in [G]atmosphere,
And watched her [D/F#]disappear, [D]into the midnight[Em7] show[Em7/B]----
A-faster[Em7/A], a-faster, a-faster, a-fa[Em/G]ster, faster[Em7/D], a-faster,
Oh [Em7]no, no, no, no, no, no,
[Em7/B]No, no, no, no, no.
If [Em7/A]you can keep a secret,
Well [Em/G]baby I can keep,[Em7/D] you can keep a se[Em7]cret[-].[Em7/B] [-] [Em7/A]
If[Em/G] you can keep a secret, [Em7/D]I can keep a sec[Em7]ret.[-] [Em7/B]
If [Em7/A]you can keep a secret,
Well [Em/G]baby I can keep, [Em7/D]you can keep a sec[Em7]ret.
Outro: Em - Am - C - G D - Em - Am - C - G D - Em
