F#  B   Bm    F#  B  Bm
Why do cupids and angels Con-
F#  B   Bm    F#       D
tin-u-al-ly haunt her dreams like
B      D   F#  B  Bm   F#

is painted on her shirt in capitals.
G              E        G
Out on the free freeway there's only
D            B         D     B   A      G
she and the they represented by their lights

[Bridge: Spoken]

Bm          G         C#               G
We went to the store and bought something great
Bm            G         D           F#
which samples this song from Washington state.

[Instumental part]


Go little record go.  It is named
by some guy named Joe. And the words are the
letters of the words said electrically played
for outer space and those who paid.
This song is twice occurred and nows it's
time to go away on holiday.

- Planet of Sound: uses a drop D tuning, so tune yr low E to a D.
From: scuw5@central.susx.ac.uk (Jonathan Eyre)

The song uses only two chords - A5 and D5:

A5  D5
e---------
B---------
G--2------
D--2---0--
A--0---0--
D------0--

Start on A5, move to D5, and just alternate between the two. The solo is
just a cheesy blues lick.

You can actually buy a complete book of 'Trompe Le Monde' tab, but it's
not very good.

G     G         G         G      F
C     C         C         C      D

the chorus is slightly different:
F       G       Bb      C
F       C       C       F

and all the chorus chords are quarter notes.

'Letter to Memphis'
Transcribed by Mark Schnitzius (schnitzi@east.isx.com)

Tune your guitar down a half step to play this one.  You'll
need to hit the low E chord.

the day since I met her
i can't believe it's true
she came here from memphis
across the ocean

sailing and i saw her and i pleaded
why do you come so far and she said

C#m              E
trying to get to you
C#m                   E
how i tried to get to you
C#m              E
trying to get to you

i'm sending a letter
i'll send it right to you
i'll send it to memphis
i know that someday

everything i needed and i wanted
used to be that in my head was haunted

[with Rhythm Figure 1]
and all these sirens they make me mad
and all this violence it brings me down
i feel strong
i feel lucky

trying to get to you
said i'm going to get to you
trying to get to you

Lyrics :

This is a song about something there
There is something about this song
We did the clubs what ass
I was to have her in the sack
I was looking handsome
She was looking like an erotic vulture
I was all dressed in black
She was all dressed up in black
Everything was fine down here
What you call it here
Call it what you will here
Way down down down in this Subbacultcha

Her warm white belly in the life I'd lived had seen nothing
Finer she shakes and she moves me or something
I was wearing eyeliner
She was wearing eyeliner
It was good down here
Saving for my scrapbook here
Way down down down in this Subbacultcha

Now we live on the sea and relax and ride the tack
Drug running on this panamanian schooner
She walks the deck in a black dress
And me I dress up in black
And we listen to the sea
And look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
What you call it
When you look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
You know when you grope for luna

He ended up in army crates
And photographs in files
His tiny boat
Sparked as he grazed it
He started heading for the motorway
And he came right down
