I haen't seen any attempts to figure this one out, so I figured I'd give it a stab.
is one of my favorites off one of my favorite Duran albums, Big Thing.  I don't think I've
seen such odd chords/key changes before, but here goes!!

Intro:  Hold the note Bb - it interchanges between Bb and G#. (low E string 6th fret and
E string 4 fret)  The whole beginning part is basically single notes rather than chords
written that way. The chords are tough to pick out, (they are probably Bb and G# but 
are too hard to hear!)

Bb
She lays on the wall

watching the strangers drift away
           Bb    G#
mid-day's ore--thick

with the sun of Arabia
     Bb             G#
she surrenders her voices
Bb
they gather, on the wind

talkin, chanting, breathing
                C#-F-Bb-C#
into her body...yesterday
F - C# - (C#-D# - E - F#) (walkup)

         Bb
Awakened beside
G#                 Bb
the scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
             G#
painting eyes--thick
Bb
with the color she brings in
Bb
oh, and sure and strong
when the lightning tumbles down
don't you frown
everything will be
in time for this evening

(Start Chords)

C#          Fm
if there's secrets
              Bb
she has to be party to
       C#
every one of them
Fm            Bb
if there's heaven
                C#
she gets to the heart

why she says
E                 B

give me red instead

now let me run... (let me run)
