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

Written by: Kim McAuliffe, Kelly Johnson
Album: "Screaming Blue Murder"     (1982, Bronze Records)

Tabbed by: Anne Drury   (zerofret)
Email: zerofret_ad@hotmail.com
Date: November 2, 2005

Notes:

-Tuning: Standard
-key of A -- guitar solo is in A pentatonic minor
-video footage shows the song to be in A, but on the CD it sounds half
 a tone lower -- to play with the CD requires tuning down, or if you
 have the re-mastered "SBM", you can play along with the live version
 (Track 13) rather than the studio version (Track 9),no re-tuning required
-4/4 time -- bar lines do indicate timing


INTRO:   (play 2x)

2ND VERSE:      (played same as 1st Verse)

You got me
You got my open mind to decide everything that I do
You got me
You think it's cut and dried but I try 'cause I still want you
But if I try too much I feel a stranger's touch
It brings me back for more at two or three or four
You know I'd kill to do just what we used to do
