And they show us how to rock with the Main Riff, which crops up throughout the intro and verses. Occasionally sandwiched in the middle of the Main Riff is what I've called the Second Verse Riff, which, as you might have gathered, also appears in the second verse. But it's got to be more complicated than that, that looks far too easy. Whatever you do though, that riff must be FAST. During the chorus of "how was it for you"s Larry plays the Chorus Riff. Part 1 always starts it off and crops up somewhere else, I forget where. Part 2 is the main part that repeats over and over. For the "it's such a feeling" parts, strum madly these chords: C and F. Lyrics/Chords: C G Well they said you are as good as you look but that F C Would be impossible G F C For you look better than the face of god on a sunny day G F C You look good enough to eat but I've had a bellyful G F C And now I have this bill I don't wanna pay How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you Do you really need that drink to disarm defences Can you never face the flak when you're in control Well I don't believe my luck I am defenceless Do with me what you want but don't tell a soul Don't tell my soul How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you Was it as good as it was for me Well that's the best it's ever been And you're the best I've ever seen How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you my love Was it good for you my dear How was it for you my love If you ain't out of your head can you ever enjoy yourself But if you ain't in your head then who's at home? I'm so possessed by sex I could destroy my health We could be dancing over coals and we'd never know We'd never know How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you How was it for you Was it as good as it was for me Well that's the best it's ever been And you're the best I've ever seen Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah We lie awake and feeling warm I need to feel your healing hands We lie awake and rise at dawn Only your fingers understand Feeling warm Can understand The feeling calls The healing hands It's such a feeling, yeah It's such a feeling, woah It's such a feeling, yeah It's such a feeling, woah It's such a feeling Transcribed by Alex Carter 2001. alex@shandy3000.fsnet.co.uk
