Chords for Godley & Creme - Under Your Thumb (1981) • TopPop

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I [Dm] was standing in the station [G] being _ pounded by the rain
So [Dm] I chose the last _ compartment of [G] a stationary _ train
Felt [B] someone getting [Bb] behind me, but [Ebm] I never caught [Bb] their eye
But [B] I thought I heard [Bb] a woman's voice [Ebm] _ whispering _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [B] goodbye _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] So [Dm] I lay down in the darkness with [G] a beer and a coffee _ stains
And [Dm] I stared out at the window through the [G] broken window _ panes
And [B] although the storm [Bb] was booming _ [Ebm] like an engine in the [Bb] sky _
I'm [B] sure I heard [Bb] a woman's voice [Ebm] _ cry
_ [Bb] I wanna [C] be _ under [Dm] your thumb _ [C] forever
_ _ [Dm] _ Don't wanna [C] be _ under [Dm] your thumb _ [C] forever
_ _ [Dm] _ Don't wanna [C] be under [F] your thumb
_ [C] _ It's over [F] and done, I'll never [C] be under [F] your thumb _ [Bb] forever
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
So [Dm] I rose, _ _ _ _
_ [G] smoked a joint, _ _ but [Dm] it didn't stop the whispers
Or [G] the smell of her alone
Then [B] she rose up out [Bb] of nowhere and [Ebm] her hair was full of [Bb] _ steam
And [Ebm] she stuck her head [Bb] out the window [Ebm] and _ _ [Bb] screamed _ _ [Ebm] and _ screamed
[Gb] _ _ _
[Bb] She screamed
_ [G] _ Don't wanna [C] be under [F] your thumb [C] forever
_ _ _ [Dm] _ Don't wanna [C] be under [F] your thumb _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
Don't wanna [C] be under [F] your _ thumb
[C] _ It's over [F] and done, I'll never [C] be under [F] your _ thumb [Bb] forever _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So I picked up an old musical, _ _ _ The Reed
[E] _ _ And _ I noticed something very strange, _ [E] indeed _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
And [G] it chilled me to the bone
More [Dm] than a cruiser, self-possessed, speeding train
[G] _ Identity _ unknown, but [B] I recognized [Bb] the picture of [Ebm] the woman who was [Bb] _ dead
[B] An _ unnamed [Bb] picture, _ [Ebm] it said
_ [Bb] _ Don't wanna [C] be _ under [F] your thumb _ [C] forever
_ _ [F] _ Don't wanna [C] be _ under [Dm] your thumb [C] forever
_ _ _ [F] _ Don't wanna [C] be _ under [F] your thumb
_ [C] _ It's over [F] and done, I'll never [C] be under [F] your thumb _
_ [Ebm] _ forever _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
Don't wanna [Em] be _ under [Bb] your thumb [C] forever
_ _ _ [Dm] _ Don't wanna be
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
