Calibretto 13 - Ballroom Blitz

Song: Ballroom Blitz
Band: Calibretto 13
CD: Enter the Danger Brigade
Label: Tooth & Nail
Tabbed by: Joshua Heilman
***********************************

If you haven’t heard these guys yet, you’re missing out. It’s hard
to explain exactly what they sound like. But it’s been called “acoustic
punk.”
I play all of the notes barred. But, ya know, you can play it
whatever way suits you best. It’s pretty easy and it sounds good. Probably
the hardest part is all of the muting that’s going on. But listen to the
CD and you should be able to pick up on it pretty quick. Have fun!

Intro:

Drums do their thing

Verse 1a:

G
...
C
It’s been getting so hard
C
Living with the things you do to me
G
...
C
My dreams keep getting so strange
C
I’d like to tell you everything I see
G
...

Verse 1b:

G
I see a man at the back

As a matter of fact

His eyes are as red as the sun
G
And a girl in the corner

Let no one ignore her

She thinks she’s the passionate one

Bridge 1:

G
Hey!
A                      C
It’s like lightning, everybody was fighting
D#                            G
And the music was soothing and they all started grooving
G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus:

A                    C
And the man at the back said “Everyone attack”
D                      G
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
A                       C
And the girl in the corner said “Boy I wanna warn you”
D                      G
And it turned into a ballroom blitz

Verse 2a:

G
...
C
I’m reaching out for something
C
Touching nothing’s all I ever do
G
...
C
I softly call you over
C
When you appear there’s nothing left of you
G
...

Verse 2b:

G
Now the man at the back is ready to crack

As he raises his hands to the sky
G
And the girl in the corner is everyone’s moaner
       G
She’ll kill you with a wink of her eye

Bridge 2:

G
Hey!
       A                        C
It was electric, so frightfully hectic

And the band started leaping ‘cause they all stopped breathing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus:

A                    C
And the man at the back said “Everyone attack”

A                       C
