Like Leila Khaled Said The Teardrop Explodes
Written by Julian cope for the Album 'Wilder'.
Please note that the lyrics may be incorrect, since I focused on getting the right
chords and I couldn't rely on the live versions, where the lyrics where different.
Main riff, played during the intro, the verses and the pre-choruses:
[Em] [Em] [D]
e|-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| B|-x-x-8-8-x-x-8-8-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| G|-x-x-9-9-x-x-9-9-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| D|-x-x-9-9-x-x-9-9-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| A|-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| E|---------------------------------|
If you can get hold of the riff and listen to the song closely, you can play most of the song.
You can [Em]smother me with [D]kisses
You can [Em]smother me with [D]dreams
You can [Em]always be the mi[D]stress of my schemes
[Em] [D]
But the [Em]sound is a very [D]special thing
It can l[Em]eave you at the [D]start
It can s[Em]ee you standing [D]naked
In a dra[Em]wer[D]
pre-chorus:
But anot[Em]her ship could f[D]ind you
And now'[Em]s your chance, a[D]nd now's your chance
Another [Em]ship could find [D]you
And now'[Em]s your chance, a[D]nd now's your chance
chorus:
Am Bm Am*
Just like Leila Khaled said
Am Bm Em D (Main Riff)
Just like Leila Khaled said
Am Bm Em D (Main Riff)
Just like Leila Khaled said
verse 2:
Meeting [Em]People round the[D] table
Trying h[Em]ard to get excit[D]ed for your brand new name
Bringing[Em] friends all rou[D]nd for dinner
Show an [Em](incomprehenisbl[D]e) and christal was here...
Chorus
(small guitar solo)
(Bridge, I'm sorry but I couldn't comprehend that aswell, the chords are the same as the
main riff)
