Chords for Behind The Vinyl - "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" with Midge Ure from Ultravox

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] I haven't heard this recording of Dancing With Tears In My Eyes for a long, [E] long time. _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ I think like most, _ _
[F#m] _ _ most Ultravox tunes, [A] _
_ _ [E] they were born from _
[Bm] _ _ jams in _ [A] rehearsal studios.
_ _ _ Billy, the keyboard [F#m] player, _ [A] used to always [G#] come in with [A] lovely little _ [E] chord changes.
And you [Bm] can hear, it's a classic line-up, this is _ _
[A] _ _ 1979 when I joined the band.
So you've got [E] electronic synthesized bass on this.
You've got Warren Can, [A] _ _ _ Canada's own [E]
Warren Can, _ on drums. _ _
Billy Curry on [A] keyboards there.
And I'm doing guitar on this.
[E] And I remember _ being _ _ [A] _ very, very influenced _ [E] when I was younger.
My _
[B] favorite album of all time, [A] David Bowie's Ziggy [F#] Stardust album.
[F#m] _ _ And there's a track on that [A] called Five [E] Years, which is really sad [Bm] _ and mournful.
_ _ And there's a [A] line in it about something about the radio or [G] a voice on the [F#m] radio.
It gave this very [A] _
dystopian [E] _ imagery.
_ And [Bm] I remember that being a really haunting thing.
[A] And it's probably what turned me on to this kind of audio [D#] atmospherics [E] that Ultravox were so good at. _
And [A] I had just read a book _
_ _ [E] _ by a guy called Neville Shute.
_ [A] _ And it was called On the Beach.
_ [E] And the whole story was set in the 1950s.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ And there'd been a [E] nuclear holocaust. _ _
And the only people [D] left [A] alive were living in Australia. _ _
[F#] And [F#m] it was a story of all these [E]
people who knew that this impending doom [G#] was coming [Bm] towards them.
_ And what they would [A] choose to do in the last moments of life. _ _
[F#m] So I wrote this, the lyrics about [A] this.
_ [E] About that very subject.
If you had four minutes left in [Bm] your life, _ _ _ what would you do?
[A] And _ _ it's quite simple really.
You can't run away.
You've got this [G] thing [E] coming towards you. _
So [A] you, _ _ _ if you're close enough, [E] you get with the people you love. _ _
And you put on [A] your favourite piece of music, which just happens to be four [F#m] minutes long.
_ And you dance with tears in your eyes.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ And people thought [A] Ultravox didn't use guitars.
Listen to that.
Put _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] tears in my _ _ _
[Bm] eyes.
_ _ So it was [A] a classic combination.
_ _ Again, _ [F#m] everyone always cited Ultravox as a [B] synthesiser band.
_ [E] _ But we used whatever [Bm] instrumentation we could.
_ _ So, [A] as I said on this, _ piano was very [F#m] dominant on this.
_ Guitar, synthesised bass, [A] drums.
[E] The idea of _ _ [Bm] incorporating every instrumentation we could get.
And [A] because of that, we made a really unique sound.
[F#m] _ _ And strangely, _ _ [A]
six years ago we got [E] back together again, almost 30 years [Bm] apart.
_ _ And the moment we plugged in in a rehearsal studio, _ _ it sounded like that.
_ Really weird. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ You can actually hear us using guitar and technology.
_ Sampling the guitar.
_ _ _ [G#] Making these [F#m] noises.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ Way ahead of our time. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] There was actually a [A] rumour, started out of Providence, Rhode Island.
[C] Some newspaper that this was the [Am] Beatles reincarnate.
_ [E] Which was a very nice compliment.
I mean, [C] to say that we sound like the Beatles is a [C#m] very high compliment. _
[F] To say that we are in fact them, is that compliment a [Em] hundredfold.
And her [G#] cheekbones and [F] her cracks in her face.
[A] And I said, I think Black Cars is not about a car at all.
It's [G] about this lady.
_ And so, [F#] thus came, [C] you know, Her Skin is Cold China White.
She's [Em] a dark angel, wearing dark
