Blondie - X Offender

this is my first tab for a website , so be patient with it;
i saw a whole bunch of tabs on the internet with half the
song cut out , so i just had to laugh as the song goes .
i’m 99% sure these are the chords used , take accurate
timing by listening to the song while practising .

and there’s a difference between G# and G#m

[ spoken ]

i saw you standing on the corner , you looked so big and fine .
i really wanted to go out with you , so when you smiled ,
i laid my heart on the line

intro/hook :
E , A , B x2

E A B E
you read me my rights and then you said “let’s go” and nothing more
A
i thought of my nights , and how they were
B
they were filled with – –

A
i know you wouldn’t go
B
you’d watch my heart burst then you’d step in
G# A
i had to know so i asked
E
you just had to laugh

[ intro/hook x 2 ]

E A B E
we sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my . . . side
A
i look at your life and your style
B A
i wanted nothing more

i know you wouldn’t go
B G#
you’d watch my heart burst then you’d step in
A
i had to know so i asked
E
you just had to laugh

[ intro/hook ]

C#m
walking the line , you were a marksman
A
told me that law , like wine , is ageless
F# B
public defender
C#m
you had to admit
A F# B
you wanted the love of a sxx offender

[ guitar solo : E , G#m , A , B ]

A
i know you wouldn’t go
B G#
you’d watch my heart burst then you’d step in
A
i had to know so i asked
E
you just had to laugh

E A B E
my vision in blue , i call you from inside my cell
A
and in the trial , you were there
B E
with your badge and rubber boots
A B E
i think all the time how i’m going to perpetrate love with you
A B E
and when i get out , there’s no doubt i’ll be sxx offensive to you
