  28 <p>Tricky chords to get smoothly on a single guitar. The best alternative
  29 is probably to play the album version with a capo on the 2nd fret.</p>

  39 Well, I had to move fast
  40       D#m
  41 And I couldn't with you around my neck.

  50          B
  51 I'll go along with this charade
  52             D#m
  53 Until I can think my way out.
  54   G#m
  55 I know it was all a big joke
  56     E
  57 Whatever it was about.

  59  Someday maybe
  60 D#m                 E
  61 I'll remember to forget.
  62     C#m
  63 I'm gonna get my coat,
  64
  65 I feel the breath of a storm.

  79 Has anybody seen my love?
  80
  81 You want to talk to me,
  82 Go ahead and talk.
  83 Whatever you got to say to me
  84 Won't come as any shock.
  85 I must be guilty of something,
  86 You just whisper it into my ear.
  87 Madame Butterfly
  88 She lulled me to sleep,
  89 In a town without pity
  90 Where the water runs deep.
  91 She said, &quot;Be easy, baby,
  92 There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here.&quot;
  93 You're the one I've been looking for,
  94 You're the one that's got the key.
  95 But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you
  96 Or you're too good for me.
  97 Has anybody seen my love,
  98 Has anybody seen my love,
  99 Has anybody seen my love.
 100 I don't know,
 101 Has anybody seen my love?
 102
 103 Well, they're not showing any lights tonight
 104 And there's no moon.
 105 There's just a hot-blooded singer
 106 Singing &quot;Memphis in June,&quot;
 107 While they're beatin' the devil out of a guy
 108 Who's wearing a powder-blue wig.
 109 Later he'll be shot
 110 For resisting arrest,
 111 I can still hear his voice crying
 112 In the wilderness.
 113 What looks large from a distance,
 114 Close up ain't never that big.
 115 Never could learn to drink that blood
 116 And call it wine,
 117 Never could learn to hold you, love,
 118 And call you mine.
