The Runaround chords by Wild Child

Artist: Wild Child
Song: The Runaround
Tab interpreter: David Codington


Note: Please be aware that, as numerous and unusual the chords in this song,
there are bound to be a few here that are up for interpretation.

For example, in the progression "Em, A, Bm, F#," the F# may very well be an F#m.
It's a tricky chord. Also, the D above "Wrap your legs..." may be a Bm.
I couldn't stick with Bm because it clearly sounds (in the song) that there is a chord change in the spot.

Interpret how you will! I've done my best.
