A Slow Song

Joe Jackson

 AmCAmC
 Music has charms they say                            
 AmGm7
 But in some people's hands
 Fm7Dbmaj7Fm7Dbmaj7Ab
 It         becomes a savage beast              
 Bb
Can't they control it 
 AbBbC
 Why don't they hold it back          

Verse 2:
You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
We need the energy
If not the sympathy

Bridge:
 EbFm7
 But I'm brutalized by bass
 EbFm7
 And terrorized by treble
 EbFm7
 I'm open to change my mood but
 EbFm7
 I always get caught in the middle

Chorus:
 Dm7
 And I get tired of DJ's

Why is it always what he plays

I'm gonna push right through

I'm gonna tell him too

Tell him to play us
C Am Fm7, A#, A, G
Play us a slow song (4 times. On the fourth do not play the G)

Verse 3:
It's late- I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me

Verse 4:
I feel your touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you

Bridge 2:
But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding

Repeat Chorus

Solo:
Ab, Bb (4 times)
 Fm7
Repeat Chorus:

End with:
C, Am


Ab Am Bb C Dbmaj7 Dm7 Eb Fm7 Gm7
