Here goes my favs then.
THIN LINE
Chords: Am 577500 (or 002210)
Cmaj7 332000 (or 035450)
Fmaj7 133210 (thumb round bass string)
Em 022000
G 320033
DMaj7/F 100211
Help !!. The guitar is heavily distorted on the “Live” album so not sure if the
Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 are just a straightforward C and F (although they both fit OK !)
Other than the Em and G chords for the rhythm seems to be hit on the downstroke
with the strings damped.(not sure about the Dmaj7 with F in the bass though !!)
Am
There’s a very big girl all covered in bees
Cmaj7
And the dimples make faces in her knees
Fmaj7
And when they turn away from each other
Em G
She whispers “Please, I’m just the same”
Am
And there’s a skinny little pale boy covered in chlorine
Cmaj7
Sitting on a cold step starting to daydream
Fmaj7
He wonders why he never could fit in
Em G
He’s like a fish out of his bowl
Dmaj7
And it’s a thin line between special and strange
Am
It’s a very thin line between freedom and I wanted
Em
To change who you are
G
For what they might want you to be
Dmaj7
And it’s a thin line between you and me
Am
And what you show and what they really see
Em
But if they turn away just whisper
G
“Please, I’m just the same”
Am
Now there’s a beautiful woman all dripping in honey
Cmaj7
She’s standing on the green grass, you’d think she looked sunny
Fmaj7
She looks up and smiles and for the first time it feels
Em G
Like you might just be with it
Dmaj7
She says where have you been my brown-eyed boy
Am
Where have you been my pride and joy
Em
They feel much better, you look much better
G
Now that you’ve been so willing
Dmaj7
And it’s a thin line between special and strange
Am
It’s a very thin line between freedom and I wanted
Em
To change who you are
G
For what they might want you to be
Dmaj7
And it’s a thin line between you and me
Am
And what you show and what they really see
Em
But if they turn away just let them be
G
They’re just the same
Am
Now there’s a very big girl all covered in bees
Cmaj7
And the dimples make faces in her knees
Fmaj7
And when they turn away from each other
Em G Am
She whispers “Please, I’m just the same”

Tips: Try to get the shuffle/rhythmn feel from the opening few bars
which starts with the strings being raked from high to low with a Bm chord
(the same applies to the Em7 chord before you hit G).
For the Bm,C+,D sequence just play the top four strings either
with a pick or your thumb (including Dd5 chord... hold a D chord
and slide your index finger down from 2nd to 1st fret)

I was thinking about the devil

a cigarette

he said be careful what you wish for

or it won’t ever come true

Instrumental:Bm,C+,D,C+,Bm,C+,D,C+,Em7,G,D,F#
Bm C+
I said well each and everyone of us
D C+
has a light that shines inside
Bm C+
that sometimes can get damaged
D C+
and has a tendency to hide
Em7
and the thing that you are selling
G D
is just our personality
F#
to feel guilty when free

just then Satan said I’m leaving

I don’t like what’s in his head

it feels just like home
