        Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship

       ----------------------------------------

           [Transcribed by Mardi Gras(TNT)]

        If there is spacing error, don't worry, it's just my computer -         This is not being typed up on a PC or a Mac!

        This is a really powerful love song that is in fact, really easy to         play.  A fabulous Albert Hammond/Diane Warren song that came out in         '87.  It went to number 1 in the charts straight away and features         in many top movies. It is still one of my all time favourite songs,         and since it is not as yet available on the OLGA, I thought I'd         post it.

Notes:  Throughout verse, mute strings with your right palm.
        Verses 1 and 3 are sung by a male vocalist.
        Verses 2 and 4 are sung by a female vocalist.
        Both male and female vocalists sing the chorus.
        For the Coda, male sings the chorus and the female harmonises.
        After listening to the track and playing along with it, you should         have a fairly good idea of the rhythm, so I have left out the         chords for some of the song where repeated previously.

                   Bb                    D C               E
            This world that I found is too good to be true

               Bb                       E

                   Bb                 D C               E

           Bb                           D  C                    E
            Put your hands in my hand baby don't ever look back

           F                        E
            Let the world around us, just fall apart

           Bb                            E
            Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart


                       F
Chorus 1:   And we can build this thing together

            Nothing's gonna stop us now

            I will stay here with you
            Take it to the good times
            See it through the bad times
            Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Verse 4:    Let 'em say we're crazy
            What do they know?
            Put your hands in my hand baby, don't ever let go
            Let the world around us
            Just fall apart
            Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

Chorus 2:   And we can build this thing together
            Standing strong forever
            Nothing's gonna stop us now
            And if this world runs out of lovers
            We'll still have each other
            Nothing's gonna stop us

Coda:       [Repeat Chorus 2 to fade (x5)]




    Well that's all folks...  I'll try to post some more when I have the     time.  I made a guess at the lyrics, so don't bet your life on them!

    While I'm here, I'd like to know if there is anyone out there who has
    anything by Dream Theater, Mr Big, The Rembrandts, No Doubt, Marty     Friedman, Steve Vai or Joe Satriani.  But most of all, I would really     like to get my hands on "Sleepwalk".  I'm not sure who it's by, but I     do know it is an old song with lots of wave and tremelo effects.  It is     featured in the film, "Sleepwalkers".  There is a version already     available on the OLGA, but I'm afraid I cannot make head or tail of it!     Please show evidence of this by posting it in the OLGA.  It would be     much appreciated.

    Thanks...  C-ya 'round! =)
