Firstly, I know it's meant to be played on synth, but it can still sound
good on guitar.
You will only need one guitar, one bass, and some MASSIVE drums to recreate
this song. Oh, and some vocals.
Intro: Guitar plays this
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4---4---4-2-0-4-----4---4-2-0-4-2---2---2-0---------------0---2-----------|
E|---------------------------------------------4-2-----2---2---2-------------|
...Bass then joins in playing the same thing, and this riff is repeated over
and over until the end of the first verse when Karin says
"I'm dancing for dollars, and for a fancy man"
Bridge: Played during the ^above^ lyrics
(just before the change to the 2nd riff)
e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|-2---2---2-0---------------0---2------------------|
E|-------------4-2-----2---2---2--------------------|
2nd Riff: This is basically the same, but one octave higher (and possibly play it louder?).
Only Guitar switches to this, Bass continues playing the intro riff.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6---6---6-4---6------6---6-4---6--4---4---4--------------------4----------|
D|-------------7----------------7--------------7-6-4----4---4-7-4------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bridge: played during the line, "I'm singing for money, that burns in my hand".
e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|-4---4---4--------------------4-------------------|
D|-----------7-6-4----4---4-7-4---------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|
Solo: Sometime after the 2nd verse, a 'solo' replaces the above riffs.
Bass goes like this
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~2~2~2~2~2~2~2~2~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~2~2~2~2~2~2~2~2~-----------|
It basically repeats these two notes with lots of weird effects.
Meanwhile, Guitar goes a little something like this
e|--19~~~-----19--17--19--21---24~~~-------21--19~~~---19-19--17--19--21~~~--|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(bend as far as possible)
e|-----17---------------16-16-16-19-19-19-24-24-24-24^-------21~~~----------|
B|--19----19---17-17-17-----------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|--24-21-24-21-19-21-19-17-19-17-16-17~~~------14~~~~~----------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
REPEAT this whole 'solo' section once.
The second time round is slightly different (meaning there's about 2 notes
difference, but it's not noticeable, and you should easily be able to figure
it out).
Bass then stops and the drums die down for a bit, while Lead guitar plays
the 2nd riff (the one with the 4's, 6's and 7's).
Bass then joins in again by playing the intro riff.
Continue until the outro.
Outro: Lead guitar plays the intro riff by itself.
Eyes are sober, this is the plan
I'm sitting in a car heading Neverland
A fancy man, a fancy man
He's pointing with the fingers that are left on his hand
Eyes are hazel, but far too cold
Looking out for love
But none of us can
Where's the monkey that I've been told of
I'm staring at the money that burns in my hand
I'm dancing for dollars
And for a fancy man
Come right over, I'll knock on your shoulder
This is a story and this is what I've planned
An angry man, an angry man
Nothing is more fatal than an angry man
Vulnerable heights
Feed the hand that bites me
Following the steam into another room
Standing in the corner
Is this my home
Showing us love that none of us can
I'm singing for money
That burns in my hand
Tell me
Will I make it home tonight
I'm doing it for dollars and for a fancy man
I've got a lot of money that burns in my hand
