Boomerang (Mansfield/Sales/Burnette)

Intro:  A5 E5 A5 E5 A5 - E5 - A5 A5 D5 - A5 - E5

Verse 1:
      E5                  D5 - A5 - E5
      Up in New York City

      E5                      D5 - A5 - E5
      'Neath the bamboo trees

      E5                   A5 - E5 - A5
      She was eating sushi

      A5
      He was on his knees

      E5                           D5 - A5 - E5
      He tried to say he loved her

      E5                   D5 - A5 - E5
      But he could not win

      E5                          A5 - E5 - A5
      She just fixed her lipstick

      A5
      And kept ignoring him - she was...

Biss: D5      A5          E5 - E5 - E5  E5 - E5
      Headed for a crash

             D5    A5            E5 - E5 - E5  E5 - E5
      And it even hurt to laugh

               D5     A5          E(hold)
      Cause it ended with a bang

                               A5  E5  A5  E5
      When it all came back like a boomerang

      E5                         A5  E5  A5  E5
      When it all came back like a boomerang

Verse 2:
      A5 - E5 - A5 A5 D5 - A5 - E5

      She went to a party
      With thieves and debutants
      All talking italics
      And so much nonchalance
      He was on the outside
      Standing in the rain
      He saw her thru a window
      He couldn't stand the pain - he was...

            - chorus -

Verse 3:
      A5 - E5 - A5 A5 D5 - A5 - E5

      She went up the staircase
      With a sleazy mideast guest
      Who could not help staring
      Thru her flimsy cocktail dress
      He broke into the bedroom
      They put him on the spot
      He took off his pistol
      They never heard the shots - they were...

            - chorus -
      E5                         A5  E5  A5  E5
      When it all came back like a boomerang

            - solo over : A5 E5 A5 E5 E5 : -

a note or two:

in the D-A-E progression at the end of lines 1, 2, 5 & 6 in the
verses, the D and A are one beat each and before playing the E
hit the open D string, hammer on the E (second fret) to play the
open E chord - this sounds harder than it actually is.

for the E-E4-E progression in the chorus just touch that 4
for an eighth note. listen to the recording for the changes - it's
very rhythmic and it's tough to get the feel of it just by reading
the above. as always...
