This version was taken from the "Anniversary" album. Sounds great on the
piano; nearly impossible on the guitar.
Cheers,

Message To My Girl - Split Enz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Anniversary' version.
Transcribed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).
INTRO:
B/C# C# B/C# C# (x3)
VERSE 1:
B/C# C# B/C# C#
I don't wanna say "I love you", that would give away too much
Bbm F/A Fm/Ab F/A Bbm Fdim/B Eb
To be detatched and precious the only thing you feel is vicious
B/C# C# B/C# C#
I don't wanna say "I want you" even though I want you so much
Bbm F/A Fm/Ab F/A Bbm Fdim/B Eb
Wrapped up in conversation whispered in a hush
F#
Though I'm frightened by the word
G#
I think it's time I made it heard
CHORUS:
C# F# C# G#
No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat
E F# C#sus4 C#
It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that
VERSE 2:
So I wake up happy, warm in a lovers embrace
Noone else can touch us while we're in this place
So I sing it to the world
A simple message to my girl
CHORUS
SOLO: (verse chords)
Though I'm frightened by the word
I think it's time I made it heard
So I'll sing it to the world
A simple message to my girl
CHORUS (x1, then...)
No there's nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hand
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
INTERLUDE: (B/C# C# x12)
Oh every night I hear you call my name
I wanna sleep in my dark (bedroom?)
I have a mind to express my pain
But I won't get back in your tomb
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone
And every night seems the same song
Same song...
I will be humming in my sleep
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say...
OUTRO: (chorus chords)
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand

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 SPLIT ENZ 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.
