'Head On'

(by the Jesus and Mary Chain)

as performed by the Pixies

from the album 'Trompe Le Monde'

Transcribed by Mark Schnitzius (schnitzi@east.isx.com)

C

As soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catching sparks of you

I get a little 'lectric charge from you

A second hand living it just won't do

F G

And the way I feel tonight

C F

I could die and I wouldn't mind

G

And there's something going on inside

C

Makes you wanna feel

Makes you wanna try

F G

Makes you blow the stars from the sky

C

And I can't stand up I can't cool down

(F) (G) C F G

I can't get my head off the ground

C

As soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catching sparks of you

And all I ever got from you

Is all I ever took from you

F G

And the world could die in pain

C F

And I wouldn't feel no shame

G

And there's nothing holding me to blame

C

Makes you wanna feel

Makes you wanna try

F G

Makes you blow the stars from the sky

C

And I'm taking myself to the dirty part of town

F G C

Where all my troubles can be found

F G

I say yeah, yeah, yeah
