Straight To My Heart - transcribed by Luis Ferreira
Intro: Bm F#m Bm F#m over and over (pretty weird rhythm - fast changes)
Bm F# Bm7
Well in a hundred years from now
Bm6 D#aug9/nr Bm
They will attempt to tell us how
Bm F# Bm7
A scientific means to bliss
Bm6 D#aug9/nr Bm
Will supercede the human kiss
Bm F# Bm7
A sub atomic chain
Bm6 D#aug9/nr Bm
Will maybe galvanize the brain
Bm F# Bm7
A biochemic trance
Bm6 D#aug9/nr Bm
Will eliminate romance
A Esus4/A A
But why ever should we care
G Em9/nr Em
When there are arrows in the air
Emadd9
Formed by lovers' ancient art
Bm F#m Bm F#m
That go straight to my heart
Bm F# Bm7
A future sugar coated pill
Bm6 D#aug9/nr Bm
Would give our lovers time to kill
Bm F# Bm7
I think they're working far too much
Bm6 D#aug9/nr Bm
For the redundancy of touch
A Esus4/A A
But what will make me yours
G Em9/nr Em
Are a million deadly spores
Emadd9
Formed by lovers' ancient art
Bm F#m Bm F#m
That go straight to my heart
D G A G
Come into my door
D G A G
Be the light of my life
D G A G
Come into my door
D G A G
You'll never have to sweep the floor
D G A G
Come into my door
D G A G
Be the light of my life
D G A G
Come into my door
D G A G
Come and be my wife
Esus4 G6add9 Fsus4 F#
I'll be true. To no one but you
If it's a future world we fear
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand
But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we're sure
Then you can play your part
And go straight to my heart
If I should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you
But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You're the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you
Chords used:
Bm: x24432 F#m: 244222 F#: 244322 Bm7: x24232
Bm6: x24x34 D#aug9/nr: xx4323 A: x02220 Esus4/A: x02200
G: 320003 Em9/nr: 220002 Em: 022000 Emadd9: 024000
D: xx0232 G6add9: 300200 Fsus4: 244422
1) /nr stand for NO ROOT chords ( i.e. a G major/nr would have no G notes )
Some of the x's are there to avoid inversions of chords, like the D xx0232.
2) Bm6 tip: play it like Bm7 but use the pinky on the E string and mute the
G string with your ring finger - or play a less accurate xx4434 (no B as
bass), which is an inversion of this chord. It sounds better.
3) D#aug9/nr tip: It's pretty wrong the way it is, but xxx323 is easier and
might do the job if you MUTE THE TOP STRINGS, or at least really remember
NOT to hit them! Otherwise it can sound pretty bad... :)
