MAKING PLANS FOR NIGEL
When Im out walking I strut my stuff yeah Im so strung out

TURNING JAPANESThe Vapors
FOR ONE GUITAR
The opening starts with a teriyaki-flavored riff like so:
E --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
B --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
G ---------------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------------------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
The bass can either double the high-E string line on its low E at
the 15h fret, or better yet, detune the bass' E to D and play:
E(D) ---5--5--5--5--3--3--0--0--3--------------------------------
The verse riff is as follows (don't forget the nice rhythmic
stops in here, 'cause that's what gives the song that "hook"):
G Em
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12--------13-12-------------------------------------------
G --12-12--------------12----14-14-------------------------------
D --12-12--12-12-------------14-14-----12-13-14------------------
A --10-10--------------------14-14--14---------------------------
E ---------------------------12-12-------------------------------
This is the main riff and gets played under the "I've got your
picture" lyrics, until "I sit there starin' and there's nothing
else to do" which features this:
A C D
E ----------------------------------
B --2-----5--7----------------------
G --2-----5--7----------------------
D --2-----5--7----------------------
A --0-----3--5----------------------
E ----------------------------------
A C D
I see you star-in' and there's noth-ing I can do
Next time around (after "I often kiss you when there's no one
else around"), this is added:
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --2----5--7---------------------------------------------------
G --2----5--7------5--9--7--5--5--9--9--7--7--------------------
D --2----5--7---5--5--9--7--5--5--9--9--7--7--------------------
A --0----3--5---5--3--7--5--3--3--7--7--5--5--------------------
E --------------3-----------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12-12----------------------------------------------------
G --12-12-12---5--9--7--5--5--9--7--------------7-7-7-7-5-5-2-5-
D --12-12-12---5--9--7--5--5--9--7--------------7-7-7-7-5-5-2-5-
A --10-10-10---3--7--5--3--3--7--5--------------5-5-5-5-3-3-0-3-
E --------------------------------------------------------------
..and back into the main riff. Granted, that jump to the barred
G at the 10th fret is a big one, but that's how it is on the
record, and with a little practice, it can be done. If you have
trouble, or if you wanna squeeze a second guitar in there, play
that G as a power chord on the 3rd fret instead of/in addition to
the 10th barre.
For the refrain, play this:
G
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--------------

Play that twice, then this:

A ------------------------5--5--5--5--3--3--0--3----------
E --------------------------------------------------------
I've got your...
The bridge after the second verse ("No sex, no drugs, etc") is
basically the same chord structure as the main riff, with a
rhythm change. The drum beat (hi-hat, actually) is on
"sex...drugs...wine...women" but the chord is played with
upstrokes on the word "no."
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
G -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
D -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
A -----------10--------10-------10-------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women...
Follow the same G - D - F - C chord pattern with that new rhythm
up to "everyone..." Then kick into the refrain and leave out the
full D and C riffs -- that space is taken up by the keyboard
chime sounds. You can throw in harmonics to fill the keyboard
gap, if you like. Over the "space" of the D, the following works
kinda nice:
D (Natural Harmonics)
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B -----------------------7--------------------------------------
G --10--10------------7-----7-----------------------------------
D --10--10-----12--7-----------7-------12-----------------------
A --10--10-------------------------12---------------------------
E ---8---8------------------------------------------------------
think so Turning Japanese...
I haven't found any harmonics that sound nice over the C chord,
but a pickslide will do in the meantime. Those of you with
tremelo prowess might want to divebomb on an F chord there. Just
a thought.
The solo is a little tricky at first, but worth it when executed
properly. It's played over the refrain riff.
E --12--10--12--10---7--10---7--7--5--5--3--5-------------------
B --12--10--12--10---8--10---8--8--7--7--5--7-------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
E --5--3--5--3---0--3-------------------------------------------
B --6--5--6--5---1--5----1--3--5--7--8--10--12------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
It's repeated twice, then back into the original refrain. It
sneaks in one more time near the end of the song; you'll hear it.
The end of the song is a variant of the riff after the 1st
refrain with a mega-cold ending:
G F# F F# G F# F
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B ----(a quick down/up/down strum)------------------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3-3----------
A ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3-3----------
E ---3-3-3--2-2-2--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3--2-2-2--1-1-1-1----------
FOR TWO GUITARS
The whole song is actally done by TWO guitars (you can tell
because they're stereo panned left and right) so the above
arrangement is correct for ONE guitar. A more accurate
transcription for two guitars (if you really want it) is:
E --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
B --------------------------------------------------(Guitar One)
G ---------------------------------------------------------------
D --12-12-12-12-10-10--7--7-10---12-12-12-12-10-10--7--7-10------
A --------------------------------------------------(Guitar Two)-
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
The second guitar (left channel) basically reinforces the riff
guitar by playing the same structure with power chords, or barre
chords with all downstrokes, all an octave or two lower, so it
sounds very aggressive.
The "lead" guitar can do this at the end:
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------
G -------12--11--10--11--12--11--10-10-10-10--------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
Other than playing the rhythm part under the solo, that, just
split up the one-guitar transcription as you see fit, really.
THE LYRICS
V1
I've got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote "I love you"
I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
V2
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around
V3
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and
turning 'round
REFRAIN
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them over myself
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and
turning 'round
REFRAIN
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think

Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

BRIDGE
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
Everyone
REFRAIN
That's why I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I
really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

GUITAR SOLO
REFRAIN
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
(think so think so think so)
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
So in short, it's a song about a guy who's obsessed with a
woman's photo and, like the Japanese tourist stereotype, wants to
take lots of pictures of her. That's all. The 80s weren't too
heavy on lyrics. :)

PEACHES
This isn't very much of a guitar song, as it is based around the bassline that JJ Burnel plays.
In fact, the guitar pretty much follows the bassline throughout the song.
The song is in the key of Eb minor :)

She's got me going up and down

Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
(riff 1 x8)
Well I've got the notion girl
That you've got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours
Spread it all over my peeling skin baby, that feels real good
All this skirt, lapping up the sun
Lap me up, why don't you come on and lap me up
(riff 2 x1)
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
(riff 1 x7)
Well there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes
I better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit
Coz you and me, woman, we got a lot of things on our minds
You know what I mean?
(riff 2 x1)
Walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches
(riff 1 x6)
Will you just take a look over there... where? there!
Is she trying to get out of that clitoris?
Liberation for women, that's what I preach, preacher man!

Gun it coming off of the line, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up with a touch of the younger kind

One Thing Leads To Another

The Fixx
Bbm Ab Cm Bbm(2x)
Bbm Ab Cm
The deception with tact,
Bbm
just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face,
which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case in black or white,
But when one little cross leads to shots,
grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet,
why don't they:
Do what you say, say what you mean
oh, baby
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong,
I know I listen too long but then
One thing leads to another
The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see
comes from living close to your fears
If this is up, and I'm up, but your running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump leads to shock,
miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat,
Why don't they:
Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong,
I know I listen too long but then
one thing leads to another
yeah yeah yeah
one thing, one one thing leads to another, another
Then it's easy to beleive
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me.
It's getting rough,
off the cuff
I've got to say enough's enough
Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
You run for cover in the heat
Why don't they:
Do what the say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You tell me something wrong,
I know I listen too long
but then,
One thing leads to another
yeah yeah
one thing, one one thing leads to another (repeat till end)

London calling, now don't look to us

Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river
Em Am7
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother, you can got it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you noddin' out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river
Now get this
London calling, yes I was there too
An' you know what they said - well some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
An' after all this, won't you give me a smile?
Em
I never felt so much a' like...

3 = A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A 3+ = A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A
1+, 2+, 3+ are played during the fast part.
The D and the G are done as open chords, for the G just play open the D, G and B strings. The C and Bb of 2 and
2+ I play them only on 2 strings with distorsion. For example the C is played
on the D and G strings, 5th position, the Bb on the same strings, 3rd
position. The A is played as an open chord.

Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street.
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth.
Look over there! (Where?)
Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend.
They say that looks don't count for much.
If so, there goes your proof.

(Hey) I thought I heard somebody say
“That dog ain’t goin’ home
Until he gets his bone"
(Hey) they said that way he’d be OK
So when he’s home alone
He’d bark “ain’t nothin’ wrong!"
Now, watch us work it
Work it out
Watch us work it
Work it inside out
Baby we can work it out
Let’s put it back together
(Hey) my baby said to me
“I feel so DEVO”
I don’t know what to do
(Hey) It’s OK because she’s free
“How low can you go?”
That’s really up to you
Watch us work it
Work it out
Watch us work it
Work it inside out

Note: Chords at this verse may sound funny because Chris' vocals change
at some point. Don't know what I mean? Check out the 3rd line.
But it should be okay because it is a running chords for verse.
For electric guitar, Jonny just do the same thing but he add some
spies in it.
Verse 3:
Amin
She'll be my mirror,
Emaj
Reflect what I am,
Bsus
A loser and a winner,
Amin
The King of Siam,
Emaj
And my Siamese twin,

She knows what I'm thinking,
