Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)
Artist: The Sweet
Song: The Ballroom Blitz
Record: Desolation Boulevard
So this is basically the same thing Nicky Chinn & Mike Chapman wrote out
just with the chords on the whole song instead of only the first half and
the churus and parts that repeat copied in the order that the song is
performed.

RIFF FOUR TIMES
A augmentedA
It's been getting so hard
E MajorE
living with the things you do to me [RIFF TWICE]
A augmentedA
My dreams are getting so strange
E MajorE
I'd like to tell you everything I see [RIFF TWICE]
E MajorE [NO CHORD]
I see a man at the back
as a matter of fact
his eyes are as red as the sun
And a girl in the corner
let no one ignore her 'cause
she thinks she's the passionate one
A augmentedA
Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
E MajorE
and the music was soothing and they all started grooving
E MajorE
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
CHORUS:
A augmentedA
And the man at the back said "Everyone attack"
E MajorE
and it turned into a ballroom blitz
A augmentedA
And the girl in the corner said "Boy I wanna warn you"
E MajorE
and it turned into a ballroom blitz
E MajorE
Ballroom blitz [repeat 4 times]
[RIFF FOUR TIMES]
A augmentedA
I'm reaching out for something
E MajorE
touching nothing's all I ever do [RIFF TWICE]
A augmentedA
I softly call you over
E MajorE
When you appear there's nothing left of you [RIFF TWICE]
E MajorE [NO CHORD]
Now the man at the back is ready to crack
as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's moaner
she could kill you with a wink of her eye
A augmentedA
Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
E MajorE
And the band started leaping 'cause they all stopped breathing
E MajorE
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
CHORUS:
A augmentedA
And the man at the back said "Everyone attack"
