THIN LINE
Chords: Am 577500 (or 002210)
Cmaj7 332000 (or 035450)
Fmaj7 133210 (thumb round bass string)
Em 022000
G 320033
DMaj7/F 100211
Help !!. The guitar is heavily distorted on the �Live� album so not sure if the
Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 are just a straightforward C and F (although they both fit OK !)
Other than the Em and G chords for the rhythm seems to be hit on the downstroke
with the strings damped.(not sure about the Dmaj7 with F in the bass though !!)
Am
There�s a very big girl all covered in bees
Cmaj7
And the dimples make faces in her knees
Fmaj7
And when they turn away from each other
Em G
She whispers �Please, I�m just the same�
Am
And there�s a skinny little pale boy covered in chlorine
Cmaj7
Sitting on a cold step starting to daydream
Fmaj7
He wonders why he never could fit in
Em G
He�s like a fish out of his bowl
DMaj7
And it�s a thin line between special and strange
Am
It�s a very thin line between freedom and I wanted
Em
To change who you are
G
For what they might want you to be
DMaj7
And it�s a thin line between you and me
Am
And what you show and what they really see
Em
But if they turn away just whisper
G
�Please, I�m just the same�
Am
Now there�s a beautiful woman all dripping in honey
Cmaj7
She�s standing on the green grass, you�d think she looked sunny
Fmaj7
She looks up and smiles and for the first time it feels
Em G
Like you might just be with it
DMaj7
She says where have you been my brown-eyed boy
Am
Where have you been my pride and joy
Em
They feel much better, you look much better
G
Now that you�ve been so willing
DMaj7
And it�s a thin line between special and strange
Am
It�s a very thin line between freedom and I wanted
Em
To change who you are
G
For what they might want you to be
DMaj7
And it�s a thin line between you and me
Am
And what you show and what they really see
Em
But if they turn away just let them be
G
They�re just the same
Am
Now there�s a very big girl all covered in bees
Cmaj7
And the dimples make faces in her knees
Fmaj7
And when they turn away from each other
Em G Am
She whispers �Please, I�m just the same�

Tips: Try to get the shuffle/rhythmn feel from the opening few bars
which starts with the strings being raked from high to low with a Bm chord
(the same applies to the Em7 chord before you hit G).
For the Bm,C+,D sequence just play the top four strings either
with a pick or your thumb (including Dd5 chord... hold a D chord
and slide your index finger down from 2nd to 1st fret)

that sometimes can get damaged

to feel guilty when free
