To learn Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Locomotion chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: Am, G, Am, C, G, C and B. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 62 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 125. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: G# Major.

_ Life's an Abortion _ _ _ _
_ [Em] Life's an abortion
[G] _ _
For the sake of [Am] [G] locomotion _ _
But I wouldn't have [Am] a [G] notion _ _
How to save [A] [G] my son
I [C] walk down the sidewalk
_ _ [Am] _
Run down the mall
_ Stop _ and make small _ talk
But [Bm] I can't say [D] no _
[G] Cause I'm a girl who can't say no
[Em] Can't say yes
Can't [C] live it right now
My own [G]
address
Can't touch heaven
It's a little too [C]
far
It's the only way to travel
Dreaming on a [C#] cloud
[D] Staring through the window
Under where the wall
[G] Moving through the landscape
At a million miles an hour
[F#] Cross every [G] nation _ _
From the harbor to the station _ _
It's a form of [A] [G] inspiration _ _
It's the power [D] to [G] the sea _
Run [F] down the _ [C] _ _
railways
[Am] Sail across the sea _ _ _
Fly [C] through the _ _ airwaves
You [D] can't say no
_ [Bm] _
[G] You don't say no
But [Bm] you insist
[C] I know you wouldn't like it
I told you [B] how I feel
[G] But you still say
Soon it comes
[C] The word's always coming out
Of my [B] own [E] expense
[D] Staring through the window
Under where the wall
[G] Moving through the landscape
At a million miles an _ hour _ _ _ _ _

_ I'd [N] sail the ocean _ _
[D#] For the sake of emotion _ _ _
But I wouldn't have [G] emotion _ _ _
How to save my _ soul
_ I'd sail the ocean _ _
For the sake of emotion _ _ _
But I wouldn't [Am] have [G] emotion
_ _ [C]
How [D] to [G] save my heart _ _
[C] I'd walk down the sidewalk _ _ _
[Am] Run down the pothole _ _
_ [C] Stop and make small talk _
[A] But I can't say [D] _ no _
