Another great Enz song. Works OK on the guitar but sounds better on the

piano.

Enjoy,

Poor Boy - Split Enz

~~~~~~~~

From 'True Colours' and 'Enz of an Era'.

INTRO:

VERSE 1:

Em D Bm7 Am

My love is alien, I picked her up by chance

C D A Em

She speaks to me with ultra-high frequency

Em D Bm7 Am

A radio band of gold, gonna listen 'til I grow old

Ooh hoo hoo

What more can a poor boy...

do...?

VERSE 2:

The crackle of the radio, a message in the evening sky

You're looking at an interplanetary Romeo

I'll never see her face - between us there's too much space

Ooh hoo hoo

What more can a poor boy...

CHORUS (as before)

SOLO:

Em D Bm7 Am (x4, then) C Em

OUTRO: (Ad lib lyrics from chorus)

Am D G E (x8, then) C Em
