hey , so this is my version of this amazing song . . . its pretty simple , just 2 chords all
way through . . . . you can either play Am as an open or a barre chord , it doesn’t really
also , there is a quick hit of the low E string between Gm , and Am as a transistion . . . it
too important but it is what is on the record .

tuning : capo 1

intro : Am Gm x2

verse :
Am Gm
you were from the north , i was from the south
Am Gm
we were from opposite places , different towns
Am Gm
but i knew it was good and you knew it was too
Am Gm
so we moved together like a ball and chain
Am Gm
minds becoming two halves of the same
Am Gm Am Gm
it was real , but in shadows it grew

chorus :
Am Gm Am Gm Am gmam Gm
cos you’ve got a secret don’t ya babe?
Am Gm
i would’ve shouted loud and broken through
Am Gm
i would’ve given it all to belong to you
Am Gm Am Gm
but there were different plans , different rules
Am Gm
you said “where i’m from there is a lock and key
Am Gm
if you’d be so kind as to follow me
Am Gm Am Gm
i will show you the way to the rest of my sins”

chorus :
Am Gm Am Gm Am gmam Gm
cos you’ve got a secret don’t ya babe?
Am Gm Am Gm Am
Gm
yeah you , you got a secret don’t ya babe?
Am Gm Am Gm Am Gm
and i . . . . . . . . should know
Am Gm Am Gm Am Gm
yeah i . . . . . . . . should know

Am Gm . . . . . all the way through .

verse :
so this room was damp where your sins laid
there was that smell in the air of an old place
that hadn’t seen much daylight in years
and you threw me down , said , “if ya don’t mind
i’m gonna leave you here until night time
then we can do what we want my baby out of the spotlight . ”

chorus :
cos you’ve got a secret don’t ya babe?
yeah you , you got a secret don’t ya babe?
and i should know
yeah i should know
for i’m your secret aren’t i babe?

( fades out . )
yeah i’m your secret aren’t i babe?
aren’t i babe?
