Subject: "Love --> Building on Fire"  by Talking Heads 

opening guitar/bass i just notes on the d string (or e).

     D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)        Gwhen (320003@1)my love    stands next to your love,

           D (xx0232@1)        G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)       GI (320003@1)can't compare love    when it's not love.

     D (xx0232@1)       G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)        GIt's (320003@1)not love;    It's not love

         D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)       GWhich (320003@1)is my face,    which is a building,

(the chords start here)

            D (xx0232@1)    Gwhich (320003@1)is on fire
 
   D (xx0232@1)   Gon (320003@1)fire.


so the whole song is just D for one measure and G for the next.  It 
changes at the instrumental with the horns before "I got two loves"

         |: F (133211@1)   C (x32010@1)   C (x32010@1)   G:| (320003@1)Which is on fire 

then it instantly goes back to D and G until the final chord which is a 
D.  it sounds cool if, after the instrumental you strum the D chord with 
long strums while you strum the G chord withfour staccato quarter note 
hits.

have fun.
