Artist: Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers
Song:   My Sweet Charade
Album:  Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers
Tuning: Standard

This Riff is part of the intro and verse.  It's 2 good strums on the E, then I play the
a muted strum, and another B then to the A.  You can also try the B as just another 2
without the mute.  You can listen for where the riff fits in, I'll list the chords that 
from that main part.

Intro:  Riff 1  x2


          Riff 1
When you slid into the room
                                Riff 1
Everything else just disappeared
                          Riff 1
Taj Mahal sang "My Corrina"
                     Riff 1
So loud and so sincere
              
You were so, so sincere


:Chorus:
               
Believe me when I tell you
                     
That what went down was a one time deal
                                    
Over and over the things that we said were
                                                 
My Sweet Charade    yeah       My Sweet Charade


              Riff 1
I don't know what your situation is
                              Riff 1
I don't know if you have a guy
                                  Riff 1
But I'm making up for younger days
                               Riff 1
And if I don't talk I just get shy
                      Riff 1                       Riff 1
You were wearing baby blue, a charm school graduate
                        Riff 1                        Riff 1
I was anything but charming, but you still got into it
                         
There was nothing I could do


:Chorus:
               
Believe me when I tell you
                     
That what went down was a one time deal
                                    
Over and over the things that we said were
                                                 
My Sweet Charade    yeah       My Sweet Charade


                            
My desiring eyes, my pathetic resolve
                                                     
The way I work through my lies, the way that my world revolves
                                 
Your black bra, I could see the lace
                                          
I could see the invitation written on your face


:Chorus:
               
Believe me when I tell you
                     
That what went down was a one time deal
                                    
Over and over the things that we said were
                                                 
My Sweet Charade    yeah       My Sweet Charade


                           
Maybe it's love, how would I know?
                                      
Every time I get close to it, I let it go
                                    
You could be different, you could be kind
                                                  
But I'll never know cause I will leave you behind
                                
Behind              Behind
