I think the words here are pretty undisputed, since they're easy
to pick out. I put in almost no single note riffs because 1) I'm 
typing this from memory, and 2) I only have one tape of this
song (Boston Music Hall, '76 I think). My attempt to construct
the opening base line from memory is sporadic at best - people
who know better are urged to speak up.

Also, anyone feel free to offer chord alternatives. The A(c# bass)
after "turned around to see" might be a C#m or an F#m... I'm only 
certain about the bass there (when I play it, A sounds best).

For anyone who missed my Built to Last posting, hyphens and elipses
are for syntactic clarity and have no musical meaning.

Bm - C#7 - F#m
                C#7          Em          G
I turn and walk away, then I ...
   D                 A             C#7              F#m
It looks as though ...
                      C#7            Em            G
I must turn down your offer, but ...
             D             A              C#7        F#m - F#
You know I'm ready to give ...
Bm - C#7 - D....    (bass: b-c#-e-c#-b-lower e)
A... D-A...
D-E                           D      A                D    A(c# bass)
  Someone called my name, you know ...
       Bm              E        A       D                  E
It was midnight in the Mission, ...
     D    ..E.. Bm       C#m         D              A
Come again,     walking along in ...
G     D     Bm      C#m          D              A        D...
Come again, walking along ...

Ten years ago I walked this street....... (chorus repeat)

All the things I planned to ...... (chorus repeat, keep repeating)

Bm - C#m - D - E - A (oooh...)


I have chords for Picasso Moon, but not all the riffs yet. If even
one single person writes and asks me to post them, I will. Does
anyone have authoritative words for that song? I have a strange
copy with "Oooh, we're just dancin'..." all over it.
