Electric Light Orchestra

Cant Get It Out Of My Head (ver 5) Chords

Song: Can't get it out of my head
Artist: ELO
Album: Eldorado
Composer: Jeff Lynne
Tabbed by DJ
26th June 2015

This is the original album version with 3 verses,
the single version misses out Verse 2 and a chorus.

Rather than just the straight major / minor chords that
Jeff Lynne plays on acoustic, I've chosen chords that
combine a few elements of the guitar, piano and strings.

C     = x32013    Cadd9 = x32030    C7 = x32310
Cmaj7 = x32000    Asus2 = x02200    F7 = 131211
F/C   = x33211    A4    = x02230    G7 = 353433
G/C   = x30003    Fmaj7 = 133210    Ab = 466544
Am    = x02210    G     = 355433    Bb = 688766

[Verse 1]
 Cadd9              Am     Asus2 Am
Midnight ...on the water,
Cadd9                     Am       A4 Am
  I saw ...the ocean's daughter,
 Fmaj7                     Dm
Walking on a waves' chi - cane,
 Fmaj7                    Am    G
Staring as she called my name------!


[Chorus]
       C          Cmaj7      F/C
And I can't get it out of my head,
G/C         C          Cmaj7       F/C     G/C
     No, I can't get it out of my head,
         C            Cmaj7    F/C   G/C
Now my whole world is gone for dead,
          C            G          F       G
'Cause I can't get it out of my head,  ...no!


[Verse 2]
 Cadd9                 Am      Asus2 Am
Breakdown ...on the shoreline,
Cadd9                Am        A4  Am
Can't move, it's an ebb tide,
 Fmaj7                       Dm
Morning don't get here 'til night,
 Fmaj7                    Am    G
Searching for her silver light------!


[Chorus]
       C          Cmaj7      F/C
And I can't get it out of my head,
G/C        C          Cmaj7       F/C    G/C
 No, I ...can't get it out of my head,
         C            Cmaj7    F/C    G/C
Now my whole world is gone for dead,
           C           G         F         G
'Cause I can't get it out of my head,  no, no!

[Verse 4]
Cadd9            Am   Asus2 Am    C
Bank job in the city,           Robin Hood and William Tell,
      C                               Am            A4 Am
And Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me, yeah,
Fmaj7                      Dm
Sitting 'til the sun goes down,
   Fmaj7                          Am          G
In dreams the world keeps going 'round and 'round!

No, I can't get it out of my head,
         C            Cmaj7    F/C    G/C
Now my whole world is gone for dead,
           C           G         F        G
'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no!


[Chorus]
        C         Cmaj7      F/C    G/C
Oh, I can't get it out of my head,

No, I can't get it out of my head,
         C            Cmaj7    F/C    G/C
Now my whole world is gone for dead,
           C           G          F       G
