(TV) A Manic Night



Okay, Okay, I know I promised not to keep this thread going...(Looks like
it's mostly me anyway)...But now I've got it for sure. It's one of those
manic nights, I'm a perfectionist, blah, blah, blah...If you read my first
post, this was really meant to be a transcription for acoustic
guitar...Well, it's all here now. That last one was "almost" it, but I
realized that as a guitar player, I wouldn't go all over the fretboard like
that, so TV and RL probably wouldn't either. Anyway, take it for what it
is...

By the way, I new to the list, so I just introduce myself:

Richard Lloyd's part in the verses still follow the chords
somewhat. Do you want that chiming sound? Play a Fender
through good chorus pedal. (I know it's double tracked,
but chorus can do the trick too, just not as well.)
 
Anyhow, I'm not Richard Lloyd, so this is the best I can offer:

Verses:

C
It was a tight toy night

C           F        G
Streets so bright

C
The world was so thin

C                     F        G
Between my bones and skin

            Am      Am
There stood another person

          Dm        Dm
Who was a little suprised

      Am      Am
To be face to face

       Dm        G
With a world so alive

      Em    Am
How I fell

Em         Am
"Did you feel low?"

F
Na
            
G
"Huh?"

  Em         Am
I fell right into the

F  G
Arms    

G           F    C    G    C

of Venus De Milo

F    C    G    


You know it's all like
Some new kind of drug
My senses are sharp
and my hands are like gloves

Broadway looked so medieval
It seemed to flap, like little pages
and I fell, sideways laughing
With a friend from many stages

How we felt
"Did you feel low?"
No, not at all
"Huh?"
I fell right into the Arms of Venus De Milo

Solo/Break

Okay, I didn't want to put this here since
Tom plays it differently all the time, but
this is the recorded version and the tab
would be incomplete without it (Don't you
hate when that happens?). Anyway, this is
the best I can do...

Suddenly
My eyes went so soft and shaky
I knew there was pain
The pain is not aching

The Richie, Richie said:
"Hey man, lets dress up like cops, think of what we could do!"
Somethin', Somethin',
Said, "You better not..."

And I fell
"Did you feel low?"
Na
"Huh?"
I stood up, walked out the Arms of Venus De Milo
