Here's a song you might be interested in if you do'nt have the music for it already.

Bm                       E RIFF1    Bm                           E  RIFF1

Call me morbid, call me pale.       I've spent six years on your trail

Bm  A    G                E Esus4 E

six long years on your trail.

Bm                      E RIFF 1     Bm                          E RIFF 1

Call me morbid, call me pale.       I've spent six years on your trail

Bm       A           G              E Esus4 E 

six full years of my life on your trail.

           Gb                   G(bar) C(bar) G       Gb                      G(bar)

And if you have five seconds to spare,     then I'll tell you the story of my life.

D                  A     Gb                   Bm  G

Sixteen clumsy and shy, I went to London and I 

D                         A    Gb

I booked myself in at the Y   W    C   A

           A                 E RIFF 1           A                 E RIFF 1 

I said "i like it here, can I stay?",      "i like it here, can I stay?",    

Bm             A     G             E Esus4 E

Do you have a vacancy for a back scrubber?





Well, the song just continues from there with the same basic chord sequences, 

Not a complex song, but a brilliant one.
