group : ALPHAVILLE album : Prostitute (1994) Note : Alphaville is an interesting German "new wave" group that had success in the 80's with songs like "Big in Japan", "Forever young", "Dance with me". But they have still been making songs and recording CDs. Witness this very good one. Hope the chords will be useful to someone. (And also the lyrics : they are not very easy to read on the book.) Here are the strange chords used in this file : C/G : ------ Em4+/7M : ------ B4 : ------ C#m7/2 : oooooo(4th) ||||o| |oo||| |||||| ||||o| ||o||| |||||| oooooo ||o||| oo|||| |||||| |||o|| ||oo|| ||||o| C#m7M : oooooo(4) B7M/D# : xooooo(6) A7M/C# : xooooo(4) F2/C : x----- |||oo| ||||o| ||||o| ||||oo ||o||| |||o|| |||o|| |||||| |||||| ||o||| ||o||| |oo|||
