"Might As Well Be You" by Del Amitri
Transcription by Dave Shapiro (dshapir@future.uswc.uswest.com)


    There is nobody ...

  F            Ebmaj7    Dm

-------------------------5----------------------------------
--6------------8---------6----------------------------------
--5------------7---------7----------------------------------
--7------------8---------7----------------------------------

    Who doesn't dance to ...

  Am            Ebmaj7       Dm

    I'm lookin' for ...

  Gm             Gm/F#         Gm/F     C/E

--3--------------3-------------3--------0-------------------

    And hey, babe, it ...

        A             Bb            C     C/D  C/E  C/F  C/G

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


After the second time through this, it doesn't do the C/D C/E C/F C/G
thing. It just ends on an F and goes to the chorus:

  It might as well be ...

                   Bb5                        F5

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------3----------------------------------------

  And it might as well ...

                       Bb

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

  that I cling to, that I ...

         F5               Bb5            F5

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------3---------------------------------
---------3----------------3--------------3------------------
---------3----------------1--------------3------------------
---------1-------------------------------1------------------


  That I kiss goodbye ...

         Bb5              Gm    Bb       F5
