"Be my Downfall"  		Del Amitri

I received a mail if I had this song available. I figured
out the chords two years ago and here they are:
It is a song out of the second album "Change everything
Change" performed by Del Amitri in 1992. Even the album
isn't as good as the first one, there are a few good songs.
Try this one ...


INTRO

G C G C G D C D G

G                    C         C9           C   G
  The bus is pulling out and I guess I'd better go

    am            C                 C9              D    D9
  Before I make a grave mistake and let my feelings show

G                   C       C9    C        G
  And twenty miles away she waits alone for me

      am            C           C9         C     D   D9
  But when I try to picture her you're the one I see

          C          G                 D    C
  And in another situation I could put up a fight

      C9          D             G
  But you will be my downfall tonight.

G                        C     C9      C     G
  So the night is coming down, drowing us in blue

      am              C                  C9      C         D  D9
  And it all points toward the things we know we shouldn't do

G                  C       C9         C    G
  And as I look at you and fall under your spell

         am               C               C9     C       D    D9
  Well I know I should be thinking of her lying there herself.


           C              G                            D       C
  And when faced with temptation you know a man should stand a fight

      am             D          G
  But you will be my downfall tonight.

        hm      hm7 hm D              Dsus4 D      am      am7
  Be my downfall    be my great regret      be the one girl

  am   am7  D          Dsus4
  That I'll   never forget

am                    am7          D      G      C G C C D D G
  Be my undoing be my slow road to ruin tonight.

        hm      hm7 hm D              Dsus4 D      am      am7
  Be my downfall    be my great regret      be the one girl

  am   am7  D          Dsus4
  That I'll   never forget

am                    am7          D      G      G
  Be my undoing be my slow road to ruin tonight.

G                       C           C9       C         G
  So the bus is pulling out and I'm grounded here with you

        am      am7     C                      C9     C      D
  And I want to say the sweet things babe I've always wanted to

     C              G                       D      C
  So tell me now the  tail-lights have gone out of sight

C                     D                      G
  Baby want you be my  downfall once again tonight.

That's it. Hope you like it  Juergen
