A Slow Song

by Joe Jackson

Intro: C, Am, C, Am, C, Am, C

Verse 1:

Am C Am C

Music has charms they say

Am Gm7

But in some people's hands

Fm7 Dbmaj7 Fm7 Dbmaj7 Ab

It becomes a savage beast

Bb

Can't they control it

Ab Bb C

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:

Eb Fm7

But I'm brutalized by bass

Eb Fm7

And terrorized by treble

Eb Fm7

I'm open to change my mood but

Eb Fm7

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
