Halo by Texas
-------------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet

Hello! This is quite a hard song to play, from the
Texas "White on Blonde" album...I've put the easy way
of playing it at the bottom, if you can't be asked
playing it the hard way...it sounds pretty good too.
For the Gmaj7, you'll need to use your thumb (i.e: have
big hands)...if you can't reach the E bass string...
just forget the bass!

Enjoy....email corrections/questions/etc... to Frederic Maquet

Verse 1: (play chords once, lots of echo)
--------
G Gmaj7
Bright lights city, your heart religion,
G
Superstars in their own private movie,
Csus2 C
they play just like children
G Gmaj7
Lies that take her, places she's never seen,
G
The kiss and tell of it all,
Csus2 C
to her it seems so obscene

Bridge:
-------
Am D Dsus4 D
She's so pretty, her hair is a mess,
Am Cadd9 riff
We all love her, to that we confess

Chorus:
-------
Gmaj7 G x2 D6 D x2
She had the halo, we really do adore her
Am? Am x2 Cadd9 riff
She had the halo, and we touch her

Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
--------
From their blindness, she seems much further,

Like on the wide screen viewing,

Going down on her...

Play bridge then chorus
------------------------

Chorus 2:

She.........believes with everything
Am Cadd9 riff
Sheeehee....believes in nothing and everything
