Subject: DEATH OF A DISCO DANCER by The Smiths
Death of a Disco Dancer
(Morrissey/Marr)
The intro bassline (and basically throughout the song) is:
B A G#m G B A G#m E
G ——————————-|——————————-|
D ————————-5-4—|————————-2-0—|
A -2—-2-0—-0—————5-|-2—-2-0—-0—————4-|
E —-2——0—4——3——–|—-2——0—4–4p2p0——–|
Sometimes the bass changes a bit, but that is the basic bassline.
the lyrics are (and the same eight chord progression is constant throughout
the entire song):
B A G#m G
the death of a disco dancer
B A G#m E
well, it happens a lot round here
and if you think peace is a common goal
well, that goes to show
just how little you know
the death of a disco dancer
well, i~d rather not get involved
i never talk to my neighbour
i~d just rather not get involved
love, peace and harmony?
love, peace and harmony?
oh, very nice
very nice
very nice
very nice
…but maybe in the next world
