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... :)
