Chords for The Chameleons Vox - Monkeyland (Live on KEXP)

It's the Midday Show, Marco in for Cheryl until 2 o'clock.
And again, I've known about me filling in for Cheryl for probably two weeks, but I did
not know that the band that I'm standing three feet away from was going to be performing
until about an hour ago.
And I got to say, I'm a little nervous.
I'm kind of shaking.
I'm getting caught in mouth.
With the Chameleons Vox, Mark Burgess is here and you set the stage for most of the music
that I listened to in the 80s.
So welcome to Seattle.
And we're going to talk to you guys in a minute.
You're playing tonight at the Crocodile Cafe and we're going to hear what four songs from
you right now.
That's right.
The Chameleons, they used to be, well, the Chameleons Vox used to be the Chameleons way
back in the day and the Chameleons UK.
Yeah, well, yeah, we had to put UK on the end of it because there was a cabaret lounge
band going around Coltrane.
So they made us change it.
Okay.
Add to it.
And then here in the States, you added Vox because?
[A] Because that's what it is.
Basically, the band is around the voice of the Chameleons, which is me.
Okay.
We're going to hear some old Chameleons stuff right now.
Yeah, we are.
Some classic stuff.

[Em] _ is there [A] anyone there [C#m] who _ [E] _ understands me?
[A] Anyone at all?
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] I might [C#m] be staring at [E] the sky.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Did [C#m] anybody hear me [E] cry?
_ _ _ _ [Bm]
[F#] A million [E] stars are a moving [C#m] sight. _ _
_ _ [F#] There's someone [E] somewhere [C#m] hearing [C#] me tonight.
It's just a trick [A] of the light.
_ [F#m] _ _
[C#m] _ Yeah, it's just a [A] trick of the light.
[F#m] _ _
[C#m] _ _ I have [D] to know what is real [E] and what [C#m] is illusion.
Tell me how does it [D] [E] feel?
The [C#m] unbursting [C#] vision.
Is [A] there anyone there?
[C#m] Do _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
I [C#m] dismiss this with [E] a sigh?
Oh yes, you must from time to [A] time.
And let [C#m] the answers pass me [E] by.
Two questions set to bend the [F#] mind.
Is my [E] creator [C#m] God or man?
Yes, yours do.
[F#] Did someone [E] somewhere make [C#m] this?
Oh, [C#] look at that.
It's just a [A] trick of the light.

[C#m] _ Yeah, it's just [A] a trick of the light.
[F#m] _ _
[C#m] _ _ I have [D] to know what is real [E] and [C#m] what is illusion.

[F#m] _ _
[A] _ [C#m] _ [E] Yeah, they brought all the [A] tricks of the light out [B] there [F#m] tonight.
[C#m] _ _ I have to [D] know what is real [E] and what [C#m] is illusion.
Tell me [G#] how does it feel?
[E] The [C#m] unbursting [C#] vision.
Is there [A] anyone there? _ _
_ [E] _ [C#m] _ _ [A] Anyone at all? _
[B] _ [A] _ _ _ [C#m] _ [B] [A] This was an optical illusion.
[B] _ [A] Like other optical illusions.

[B] beware.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#m]
[A] To everyone there.
_ [B] _ [A] _ _ _ _

I'm realizing I'm not the only fanboy in the room.
I'm looking around and people are singing on every side of me.
