Subject: DEATH OF A DISCO DANCER by The Smiths

Death of a Disco Dancer

(Morrissey/Marr)

The intro bassline (and basically throughout the song) is:

B A G#m G B A G#m E

G -------------------------------|-------------------------------|
D -------------------------5-4---|-------------------------2-0---|
A -2----2-0----0---------------5-|-2----2-0----0---------------4-|
E ----2------0---4------3--------|----2------0---4--4p2p0--------|

Sometimes the bass changes a bit, but that is the basic bassline.

the lyrics are (and the same eight chord progression is constant throughout

the entire song):

B A G#m G

the death of a disco dancer

B A G#m E

well, it happens a lot round here

and if you think peace is a common goal

well, that goes to show

just how little you know

the death of a disco dancer

well, i~d rather not get involved

i never talk to my neighbour

i~d just rather not get involved

love, peace and harmony?

love, peace and harmony?

oh, very nice

very nice

very nice

very nice

...but maybe in the next world
