Architecture in Helsinki - Contact High ------------------------------ Key of F#, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer. Key change to A for the final chorus. ------------------------------ They keep it simple with the 3-chord progression, but you can keep things interesting by sustaining, muting and changing your strumming pattern in different parts, like they do in the song. Watch for the chords in brackets, which I transcribed to match the cadences at the end of most of the verses. ------------------------------ INTRO: F# - B - Ebm - Ebm VERSE 1: F# B Ebm Ebm If one of these two walls could speak F# B Ebm Ebm I'd turn the lights down long enough to hit repeat (babe) F# B Right now my vision is gone and magic's to blame Ebm Ebm It's silent down here, hey I want to get loud again F# B Ebm Ebm You'll hold the thunder while I bring the rain PRE-CHORUS: F# B Ebm Ebm I might be dancing doing nothing but I've had my share F# B Ebm (B - F#) You've got a strange infatuation with the elements in the air CHORUS: F# Contact high B Ebm I'm done dreamin that we can fly Ebm F# Am I guilty?
