NOTE: These chords are really for Gene Pitney's original; Cave does it in 
a lower key, but I haven't bothered to check out which.  - Trond.  
 
 
 
INTRO: 
  C5 G5 E5 D5   
 
G5                              F5
 Something's gotten hold of my heart
           Eb5          D5       G5 
Keeping my soul and my senses a part 
                            F5
Something's gotten into my  life 
              Eb5                D5               G5
Cutting it's  way through my    dreams   like a  knife 
 F5           Eb5         D5            G5
 Turning me  up, and    turning   me  down 
 F5          Eb5            D5           G5
 Making me  smile, and    making   me  frown 
 G5                   F5
 In a world that was  small 
                    Bb5               Eb5             D5             G5
I once lived in a    time   that was  peace and no   troubles   at  al= l 
                      F5
But then you came my  way 
                      G5              F5
And a feeling  of  un known shook my  heart, 
          C5              F5
made me    want   you to  stay 
   C5           F5              C5           Eb5
   All   of my  nights, and    all   of my  days 
   D5
       yeah I gotta tell you now  
 G5                             F5
 Something's gotten hold of my  hand 
             Eb5           D5           G5
Dragging my  soul to a    beautiful    land 
                                F5
Yeah, something has invaded my  night 
             Eb5              D5           G5
Painting my  sleep with a    colour   so  bright 
 F5             Eb5          D5              G5
 Changing the  grey, and   changing   the  blue 
 F5            Eb5         D5             G5
 Scarlet for  me, and    scarlet   for  you 
   C5       G5       E5       A5    

     A5
I    got   to know if this is the real thing 
     A5
I    got   to know it's making my heart sing 
        D5               D5
Wo-hoo- o-ye-e-e-e-e e-   
       D5
You    smile   and I am lost for a lifetime 
        D5                                D5
Each    minute   spent with you is the    right   time 

Every hour, every day 

You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah 

Baby, baby 
  G5                              F5
  Something's gotten hold of my   hand 
              Eb5          D5         G5
Dragging my   soul to a   beautiful  land 
                          F5
Something has invaded my  night 
             Eb5             D5          G5
Painting my  sleep with a   colour   so  bright 
 F5             Eb5           D5              G5
 Changing the  grey, and    changing   the  blue 
                 Eb5         D5             G5
=46 Scarlet for  me, and    scarlet   for  you

 * Play the   Bb7   as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right, 
i.e. 686766.   - Trond.  
 
Comments from: Paul McMullan : 
 
The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they 
should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For 
example,  F scarlet ... means the   F   is played on the s. My positioning of 
the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always 
correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree 
with the chord  or note  in the piano notation.
