Message to My Girl Split Enz
This version was taken from the "Anniversary" album. Sounds great on the
piano; nearly impossible on the guitar.
Cheers,

Message To My Girl - Split Enz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Anniversary' version.
Transcribed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).
INTRO:
B/C# C# B/C# C# (x3)
VERSE 1:
[B/C#] I don't wanna say "I [C#]love you", [B/C#] that would give away too [C#]much
[Bbm] To be de[F/A]tatched and [Fm/Ab]preciou[F/A]s [Bbm] the only thing you [Fdim/B]feel is [Eb]vicious
[B/C#] I don't wanna say "I [C#]want you" [B/C#] even though I want you so [C#]much
[Bbm] Wrapped [F/A]up in conver[Fm/Ab]sation [F/A] [Bbm] whispered [Fdim/B]in a hus[Eb]h
Though I'm [F#]frightened by the word
I think it's [G#]time I made it heard
CHORUS:
No more [C#]empty self-po[F#]ssession visions [C#]swept under the [G#]mat
It's no [E]New Years Reso[F#]lution it's more than [C#sus4]that[C#]
VERSE 2:
So I wake up happy, warm in a lovers embrace
Noone else can touch us while we're in this place
So I sing it to the world
A simple message to my girl
CHORUS
SOLO: (verse chords)
Though I'm frightened by the word
I think it's time I made it heard
So I'll sing it to the world
A simple message to my girl
CHORUS (x1, then...)
No there's nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hand
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
INTERLUDE: (B/C# C# x12)
Oh every night I hear you call my name
I wanna sleep in my dark (bedroom?)
I have a mind to express my pain
But I won't get back in your tomb
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone
And every night seems the same song
Same song...
I will be humming in my sleep
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say...
OUTRO: (chorus chords)
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
