This song is on The Bible^?s 1988 record, Eureka. It is a mellow jazz piece

at about 84 on

a metronome. There is a dainty electric guitar (guitar 1) coupled with a

jazzy electric.

(guitar 2). Both are played cleanly. The bass is an upright.

Guitar 2 (Figure 3)

I am not sure about this part. I think it is an arpeggio on C7sus(1),

A7sus, and other

chords. If you figure out this part, please let me know.

The guitar and trumpet solos are in Em.

Verse

(Figure 1)

Don^?t think I^?ve ever been so ashamed.

You brought those ugly thoughts into our house,

Into our house.

(Figure 2)

Now I find I^?m behind enemy lines.

Pre-Chorus

(Figure 3)

Then he tells her how he wants her.

And he^?s going to be good, he^?s going to be,

Yes, he^?s going to be good.

Chorus

(Figure 1)

But how can he be good when all the flags are coming down

In Red Hollywood?

In Red Hollywood.

(Figure 2)

I^?ve been crying.

I^?ve been crying all night.......
