To play along with the CD, you must CAPO at the fifth fret.
All chords are relative to the capo, although transposition
isn't too difficult on this one.
Limbo Capo Fret 5
Verse 1 (cool upstrokes on the Em)
Em Em
Ate up the prophets, corrupted the saints
Em Em
Exhausted resources, made us ashamed
Chorus
Em C
Hollywood won't touch you with a pole
D5 Am
Jesus doesn't love you, Lucipher does not
Am (Em)
want your soul
Em C
Made a mistake, no one will forgive you
D5 Am
The servants you love to dismiss all will outlive you
Verse 2
Em Em
Set us against each other, thought it was clever
Em Em
What a fiasco, well I never
Chorus
Verse 3
Em Em
Such a good baby, such an old man
Em Em
Thanks for the memories, now why don't you scram
Chorus
I enjoy this song as it is recorded, but there is alot more
electronic sounds than guitar. Hearing Kilbey play it live
on guitar only convinced me that it was originally composed
on/for the guitar. The chords are all played first position.
On the D5, the bass and keyboards imply a minor tone, but I
believe the guitar simply plays the D5:
---------0--
---------3--
---------2--
---------0--
---------0--
---------x--
Also, on the E-minor in the chorus, the other instruments imply
a seventh tone, but the guitar plays E-minor only. I hope someone
can find interest in playing this song, it is classic Kilbey

Chords used:
G5 : 320033
C9+5 : 032033 - weird name, simple concept. Just move two fingers down from the G5 chord.
Eb Thingy : X65066
The C9 chord moved up by three frets - no barre. Let the G string ring clearly and
BLOCK THAT LOW E!! Steve didn't do so at a concert and stopped the song half way
through because something sounded *really* ... ummm.... "discordant". The low E
ringing through the chorus was the cause.
Db Thing: X43044
Same as the previous chord but down two frets. The G is still ringing clearly and that
nasty low E should be blocked.
OK, after that lot the song is fairly simple.
Verse:
G C9 (repeat)
Chorus:
Eb Thingy Db Thingy C9
The only tweak I can suggest is when you switch from G to C9 in the chorus try
and sometimes hit the 2nd fret on the G string. This adds an "A" to the chord and lets
you hint at what the bassline is doing in the recording.

Transcription by Noel.
Here is English Kiss from Narcosis +. It is basically a two chord song,
though there seems to be a passing G tone between the Fmaj7 and Amin. The
guitar tracks on the album feature quite a bit of wah pedal rocking back and
forth (very tasty). The keyboard fill in the intro can be played on the
guitar using the Harmonic Minor scale. Something like this:
e...................................................................
B...................................................................
G.............................................................5.....
D.............................................5.........7...........
A........................5......7.....8.............................
E...5......7.....8..................................................
The chords are A minor

He licks the skin off the women.

I tell you Samantha

I could wear those stripes for you.

With just one English Kiss.

She lands on a mountain

Crashes in pieces all over my eyes.
Amin
All over my eyes
Chord progression remains the same throughout
And when you get tired
Of fake little evenings
Slip through your fingers
And don't keep their promise
Such a sad vision
It breaks up my daydream
Such a sad vision, breaks up my daydream
Look up that sleeve, where is the rabbit
Already secreted along with the dove
Where is the passion, already depleted
Just like the love.
Can you imagine what I can manage
With your permission, with your consent.
I know what you're thinking
Hear what you're saying, How could I ever?
I know what you like.
I think I know what you like.
I'm sure I know what you like.
You should give it attention
You should give it attention
You should give it some thought
You should give me a night
You should give me a night
I know what you like
