NOTE: These chords are really for Gene Pitney's original; Cave does it in
a lower key, but I haven't bothered to check out which. - Trond.
INTRO:
C G Em D
Gm Something's gotten hold of my F heart
Keeping my Eb soul and my D7 senses a Gm part
Something's gotten into my F life
Cutting it's Eb way through my D7 dreams like a Gm knife
F Turning me Eb up, and D7 turning me Gm down
F Making me Eb smile, and D7 making me Gm frown
Gm In a world that was F small
I once lived in a Bb7 time that was Eb peace and no D7 troubles at Gm al=
l
But then you came my F way
And a feeling of un Gm known shook my F heart,
made me C7 want you to F stay
C7 All of my F nights, and C7 all of my Eb days
D7 yeah I gotta tell you now
Gm Something's gotten hold of my F hand
Dragging my Eb soul to a D7 beautiful Gm land
Yeah, something has invaded my F night
Painting my Eb sleep with a D7 colour so Gm bright
F Changing the Eb grey, and D7 changing the Gm blue
F Scarlet for Eb me, and D7 scarlet for G you
C G Em A
I A7 got to know if this is the real thing
I A9 got to know it's making my heart sing
Wo-hoo- D o-ye-e-e-e-e e- D9
You D7 smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each D9 minute spent with you is the D7 right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah
Baby, baby
Gm Something's gotten hold of my F hand
Dragging my Eb soul to a D7 beautiful Gm land
Something has invaded my F night
Painting my Eb sleep with a D7 colour so Gm bright
F Changing the Eb grey, and D7 changing the Gm blue
=46 Scarlet for Eb me, and D7 scarlet for Gm you

* Play the Bb7 as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right,
i.e. 686766. - Trond.
Comments from: Paul McMullan :
The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they
should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For
example, F scarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of
the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always
correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree
with the chord or note in the piano notation.
