Halo by Texas 
------------- 
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet 

Hello!  This is quite  a hard song to play, from the 
 Texas "White on Blonde" album...I've put the easy way  
of playing it at the bottom, if you can't be asked 
playing it the hard way...it sounds pretty good too. 
For the Gmaj7, you'll need to use your thumb (i.e: have 
 big hands)...if you can't reach the E bass string... 
just forget the bass! 

Enjoy....email corrections/questions/etc... to Frederic Maquet

Verse 1: (play chords once, lots of echo) 
-------- 
  G  Gmaj7 
Bright lights city, your heart religion, 
    G 
Superstars in their own private movie,  
    Csus2 C 
they play just like children 
G    Gmaj7 
Lies that take her, places she's never seen, 
     G 
The kiss and tell of it all,  
  Csus2  C 
to her it seems so obscene 

Bridge: 
------- 
 Am        D  Dsus4 D 
She's so pretty, her hair is a mess, 
       Am Cadd9 riff 
We all love her, to that we confess 

Chorus: 
------- 
Gmaj7 G x2 D6 D x2 
She had the halo,         we really do adore her 
Am? Am x2 Cadd9 riff 
She had the halo,  and we touch her 

Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1) 
-------- 
>From their blindness, she seems much further, 

Like on the wide screen viewing, 

Going down on her... 

Play bridge then chorus
