Death of a Disco Dancer
	(Morrissey/Marr)


The intro bassline (and basically throughout the song) is:

   B      A      G#m    G          B      A      G#m    E

G -------------------------------|-------------------------------|
D -------------------------5-4---|-------------------------2-0---|
A -2----2-0----0---------------5-|-2----2-0----0---------------4-|
E ----2------0---4------3--------|----2------0---4--4p2p0--------|

Sometimes the bass changes a bit, but that is the basic bassline.
the lyrics are (and the same eight chord progression is constant throughout
the entire song):

    B          A     G#m    G
the death of a disco dancer
         B         A          G#m   E
well, it happens a lot round here
and if you think peace is a common goal
well, that goes to show
just how little you know

the death of a disco dancer
well, i~d rather not get involved
i never talk to my neighbour
i~d just rather not get involved
love, peace and harmony?
love, peace and harmony?
oh, very nice
very nice
very nice
very nice
...but maybe in the next world
