George Michael - Careless Whisper [Original Key of Dm]

Strum Pattern: D_D-DUUD-DUDU

Intro: [Dm] [Gm7] [Bb] [Am] [2x]

[Dm]I feel so un-[Gm7]sure, as I [Bb]take your hand.

And lead you [Am]to the dance floor…
[Dm] As the music dies, [Gm7] something in your eyes,
[Bb]Calls to mind a silver screen and [Am]all its sad goodbyes.

Chorus: [Dm] I'm never gonna dance again,

[Gm7]Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
[Bb] Though it's easy to pretend, I [Am]know you're not a fool.
I [Dm]should have known better than to cheat a friend,
And [Gm7]waste a chance that I've been given,
[Bb] So I’m never gonna dance again,
The [Am]way I danced with you-oo-oo...

Interlude: [Dm] Oh-oh-[Gm7]ohh….[Bb] [Am]

[Dm]Time can never [Gm7]mend,

The [Bb]careless whisper [Am]of a good friend.
[Dm] To the heart and mind, [Gm7] ignorance is kind.
[Bb]There's no comfort in the truth, [Am]pain is all you'll find…

[Repeat Chorus & Intro]

To-[Dm]night the music seems so loud,

I [Gm7]wish that we could lose this crowd, [Bb]maybe it's better this way,
We'd [Am]hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We [Dm]could have been so good together,
We [Gm7]could have lived this dance forever,
But [Bb]now…who's gonna dance with [Am]me, please stay…

[Repeat Chorus] [Dm] Oh-oh-[Gm7]ohh….[Bb] [Am]

[Dm] Now that you've go-[Gm7]-one, now…that you've [Bb]gone, [Am]

[Dm] Now that you've go-[Gm7]-one, was what i did so wrong?
So [Bb]wrong that you had to [Am]leave me alone….

Outro: [Dm] [Gm7] [Bb] [Am] [2x]

intro/
verse:
Verse 1
[Am]On a dark desert highway, [E7]cool wind in my hair
[G]Warm smell of colitas, [D]rising up through the air
[F]Up ahead in the distance, [C]I saw a shimmering light
[Dm]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,[E7]I had to stop for the night
[Am]There she stood in the doorway; [E7]I heard the mission bell
[G]And I was thinking to myself, [D]"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
F hen she lit up a candle C and she showed me the way
Dm here were voices down the corridor E7 I thought I heard them say

chorus:

Chorus 1
[F]Welcome to the Hotel [C]California
Such a [E7]lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a [Am]lovely face
[F]Plenty of room at the Hotel [C]California
Any [Dm]time of year (Any time of year) You can [E7]find it here

Verse 2
[Am]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, [E7]she got the Mercedes benz
[G]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys [D]she calls friends
[F]How they dance in the courtyard, [C]sweet summer sweat.
[Dm]Some dance to remember, [E7]some dance to forget
[Am]So I called up the Captain, [E7]"Please bring me my wine"
He said, [G]"We haven't had that spirit here since [D]nineteen sixty nine"
[F]And still those voices are calling from [C]far away,
[Dm]Wake you up in the middle of the night [E7]Just to hear them say...

Chorus 2
[F]Welcome to the Hotel [C]California
Such a [E7]lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a [Am]lovely face
They [F]livin' it up at the Hotel [C]California
What a [Dm]nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your [E7]alibis
Verse 3
[Am]Mirrors on the ceiling, [E7]The pink champagne on ice
And she said [G]"We are all just prisoners here, [D]of our own device"
[F]And in the master's chambers, [C]They gathered for the feast
[Dm]They stab it with their steely knives,
But they [E7]just can't kill the beast
[Am]Last thing I remember, I was, [E7]Running for the door
[G]I had to find the passage back, To the [D]place I was before
[F]"Relax, " said the night man, "We are [C]programmed to receive.
[Dm]You can check-out any time you like, [E7]But you can never leave!"
