I once new a girl I can't remember her name
But I remember her face cos her sister looked the same.
They both left school, but they couldn't find a job
So they said farewell and stole a small town car.
C A#m G
As they were riding by the beach some summer night
C A#m G F
the radio shouted out one of those songs that might just change your life
It went like this:
D G A
"Checkin' in checkin' out
D G A D Bm
Making love I like watching all your fireworks
G A E
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
G C D
Just like fireworks in the sky"
Yes it did.
Throwing some poems to the ports and docks
D C G
They were sleeping outdoors puching all their luck
They sent me a letter full of pills and thrills
D C
Then they both got rich and moved to Hollywood Hills.
C A#m G
Yea they made lots of money playing folk guitar
C A#m G F
Cos everywhere the boys went crazy just to hear these words of art:
[CHORUS] as before,
& harmonica solo: just play D A D A throughout
E A B
"Checkin' in checkin' out (take it to the sky)
E A B E C#m
Making love I like watching all your fireworks
A B F#
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
A D E
Just like fireworks in the sky"
They're coming to get you
They're coming to get you now (right now)
Coming to get you now

Watch the sky!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ROXETTE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
