 Halo by Texas 
 			------------- 
 				Tabbed by Frederic Maquet 
  
 Hello!  This is quite  a hard song to play, from the 
  Texas "White on Blonde" album...I've put the easy way 
 of playing it at the bottom, if you can't be asked 
 playing it the hard way...it sounds pretty good too. 
 For the Gmaj7, you'll need to use your thumb (i.e: have 
  big hands)...if you can't reach the E bass string... 
 just forget the bass! 
  
 Enjoy....email corrections/questions/etc... to Frederic Maquet

 Verse 1: (play chords once, lots of echo) 
 -------- 
   G     Gmaj7 
 Bright lights city, your heart religion, 
 		    G 
 Superstars in their own private movie, 
 		    Csus2 C 
 they play just like children 
 G      Gmaj7 
 Lies that take her, places she's never seen, 
 	     G 
 The kiss and tell of it all, 
 	  Csus2  C 
 to her it seems so obscene 
  
 Bridge: 
 ------- 
 	 Am		       D  Dsus4 D 
 She's so pretty, her hair is a mess, 
        Am			Cadd9 riff 
 We all love her, to that we confess 
  
 Chorus: 
 ------- 
 		Gmaj7 G x2		D6 D x2 
 She had the halo,         we really do adore her 
 		Am? Am x2		Cadd9 riff 
 She had the halo, 		and we touch her 
  
 Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1) 
 -------- 
 >From their blindness, she seems much further, 
  
 Like on the wide screen viewing, 
  
 Going down on her... 
  
 Play bridge then chorus 
 ------------------------ 
  
 Chorus 2: 
 --------- 
 	G     D 
 	She.........believes with everything 
 	Am			 Cadd9 riff 
 	Sheeehee....believes in nothing and everything 
  
 Break: 
 ------ 
 	G		D		Am	  Cadd9 riff 
  
 Play chorus 1 and 2 with following riffs: 
  
     Gadd?    G         D riff C6       C       Cadd9 
 e:--5--5--5--3--3-|--|------|-5--5--5--3--3|--|------|
