 Divorce


Now it goes back to the second verse- same as the first (but different words!)
After the second chorus, it goes to a middle eight type thing with the words:
"At the grotto, in the easy chair, sits the Charlie...." etc
Going in to this, the last line of the chorus is slightly different in that you
don't play the E, G#m7 and A chords but go straight from Em6 to :

MIDDLE 8:

(Em6)     Cmaj7       Em7                 D7
At the  grotto in the easy chair sits the Charlie with the lotion and the

 G                        G7                   Cmaj7
kinky hair  when she    laughed  she said it   all

 F7            G7               F7                 G7
  The band was hot so  they    danced a famous   merango (?) now we

 A7                    C7
dolly back  now  we    fade to black

INSTRUMENTAL (Guitar solo):

G  /  F7 / C / Bb7 A7    (play three times)

Cmaj7 / / Bm7    Em7 / Em6 / Em7 / Em6 / Em7 / Em6 / E / G#m7 A

Next it goes to another verse (verse 3)
Same chords as before
Then another chorus

At the end of the third chorus, play as for the second chorus i.e miss out
the E G#m7 and A chords
Instead of these go straight into another instrumental bit, same as above
for the first threee lines (i.e the three repetition of the first line)
but then play:

Fmaj7 / / / Em7 / Em6 /

and repeat this line as much as you want (the song fades here)

For some chords I've put alternative shapes for the same chord. Take your pick

 Em7        Em7         Em6          E          G#m7        A
(use the first Em7 shape for the intro bit with Em7 and Em6)
