Halo by Texas
-------------
Hello! This is quite a hard song to play, from the
Texas "White on Blonde" album...I've put the easy way
of playing it at the bottom, if you can't be asked
playing it the hard way...it sounds pretty good too.
For the Gmaj7, you'll need to use your thumb (i.e: have
big hands)...if you can't reach the E bass string...
just forget the bass!

Verse 1: (play chords once, lots of echo)
--------
Bright lights city, your heart religion,
Superstars in their own private movie,
they play just like children
Lies that take her, places she's never seen,
The kiss and tell of it all,
to her it seems so obscene
Bridge:
-------
She's so pretty, her hair is a mess,
riff
We all love her, to that we confess
Chorus:
-------
x2 x2
She had the halo, we really do adore her
? x2 riff
She had the halo, and we touch her
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
--------
>From their blindness, she seems much further,
Like on the wide screen viewing,
Going down on her...
Play bridge then chorus
------------------------
Chorus 2:
---------
She.........believes with everything
riff
Sheeehee....believes in nothing and everything
Break:
