Palomino Tab

by Duran Duran


I haen't seen any attempts to figure this one out, so I figured I'd give it a stab.
is one of my favorites off one of my favorite Duran albums, Big Thing.  I don't think I've
seen such odd chords/key changes before, but here goes!!

Intro:  Hold the note Bb - it interchanges between Bb and G#. (low E string 6th fret and
E string 4 fret)  The whole beginning part is basically single notes rather than chords
written that way. The chords are tough to pick out, (they are probably Bb and G# but 
are too hard to hear!)


She lays on the wall

watching the strangers drift away
               
mid-day's ore--thick

with the sun of Arabia
                  
she surrenders her voices

they gather, on the wind

talkin, chanting, breathing
                ---
into her body...yesterday
 -  - (C#- -  - ) (walkup)

         
Awakened beside
                 
the scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
             
painting eyes--thick

with the color she brings in

oh, and sure and strong
when the lightning tumbles down
don't you frown
everything will be
in time for this evening

(Start Chords)

          
if there's secrets
              
she has to be party to
       
every one of them
            
if there's heaven
                
she gets to the heart

( -   - ) walkup
and you'll know...
        
why she says
                 
when I run out of blue
                 
help me rise instead
                  
then I will run to you
        
why she says
                 
when I run out of blue
                
give me red instead

now let me run... (let me run)

          
if there's secrets
              
she has to be party to
       
every one of them
         
if there's heaven
                 
she gets to the heart
         
and you'll know...
       
why she says
                  
when I run out of blue
                
help me rise instead
                   
then I will run to you
        
why she says
                  
when I run out of blue
                 
give me rain instead

now let me run... (let me run)

Hey-hey....
        
why she says
                 
when I run out of blue
                 
help me rise instead
                  
then I will run to you
        
why she says
                
when I run out of blue
                 
give me rain instead
                  
then I will run to you
