The Grip Of Love by Tom Verlaine
The Grip Of Love
Virtually the whole song is based around the main riff (the intro
differs slightly in the rhythm guitar bit), which is backed by the
rhythm guitar & bass clonking once a bar with a big A chord.
The chorus is based around a G D G E progression; I just use the open
chords for rhythm or a power chord for lead.

Do the 2 intro bars
Do the 2 main riff bars
(Verse 1) Do the 1 main riff bar for each line:
You do the moon
You do the snake
Everywhere you go
You make the prime mistake
You take a picture
And lay it in my toll
Some time I'll win babe
Just like the Milky Way
(Chorus 1)
G G
I don't understand
D D
Must be the grip of love
G G
Sure had it in your hand
E E
Must be the grip of love
(Verse 2) Do the 1 main riff bar for each line:
We did so many things
To find out how we felt
Now you say I'm yours
Well don't that buckle my belt (Yes! But what does it mean?)
(Chorus 2)
G G
I don't understand
D D
Must be the grip of love
G G
Sure had it in your hand
E E
Must be the grip of love
E E
Must be the grip of love
Solo Yeaah!
Go Tom Go (ahem)
(Chorus 3) Comes in towards the end of the solo.
Don't you know sometimes
I don't understand
Must be the grip of love
You got me in your hands
Must be the grip of love
You got the grip of love
(Fade out bit)
Must be the grip of love (Time for a 'repeat ad infinitum' I think)
Must be the grip of love
Must be the grip of love
Sure got it in your hand
Must be the grip of love
Sure got it in your hand
Must be the grip of love
Sure got it in your hand
Must be the grip of love
Sure got it in your hand
Must be the grip of love
Sure got it in your hand
Must be the grip of love
Sure got it in your hand
Must be the grip of love
Tell me now
Where you got
Such a thing
Tell me now
Where you got
Such a thing
Tell me now
Where you got
Such a thing
Must be the grip
Must be the grip of love
Must be the grip
Must be the grip of love
Must be the grip
Must be the grip of love
Must be the grip
Must be the grip of love
Must be the grip
Must be the grip of love
