I haen't seen any attempts to figure this one out, so I figured I'd give it a stab.
is one of my favorites off one of my favorite Duran albums, Big Thing.  I don't think I've
seen such odd chords/key changes before, but here goes!!

Intro:  Hold the note Bb - it interchanges between Bb and G#. (low E string 6th fret and
E string 4 fret)  The whole beginning part is basically single notes rather than chords
written that way. The chords are tough to pick out, (they are probably Bb and G# but 
are too hard to hear!)

BbShe (x1333x@1)lays on the wall

watching the strangers drift away
           Bb (x1333x@1)  G#mid-day's (xx1114@1)ore--thick

     Bb (x1333x@1)           G#she (xx1114@1)surrenders her voices
Bbthey (x1333x@1)gather, on the wind

talkin, chanting, breathing
                C#-F-Bb-C#
into her body...yesterday
F - C# - (C#-D# - E - F#) (walkup)

             G#painting (xx1114@1)eyes--thick
Bbwith (x1333x@1)the color she brings in
Bboh, (x1333x@1)and sure and strong
when the lightning tumbles down
don't you frown
everything will be
in time for this evening
