             Greg Lake/Geoff Downes: Affairs of the heart
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From:                Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Black Moon

Transcription by:    Rainer Boettchers (boettchers.pad@sni.de)
            Paderborn/Germany, July 1996

Tuning:              EADGBE (Standard)

Comments:            Again a .CRD file, again a simple transcription
            (... beg your pardon, Greg ...). Again I have tried
            to preserve the timing for the chord changes.
            Chords used here:    Emaj       022100
                        Esus4      022200
                        Bmaj       224442
                        Emin       022000
                        F#min      244222
                        Gmaj       320003
                        Amaj       x02220
                        Bmin       x24432
            Other chords shapes may be used instead. Listen to 
            the original song to find the bits and pieces.
            And a 12string guitar is the best guitar for this song.

*** Intro:

Emaj  Esus4  Emaj  Esus4

*** Main theme:

    Emaj
She looked at me across the room

 Esus4
Emerging from a silk cocoon

 Emaj               Esus4
Alone beneath Venetian chandeliers

 Emaj             
Against the moon her body rocks

    Esus4
Her eyes were cunning like a fox

    Emaj                   Esus4
The wings of passion fly on all frontiers

*** Refrain:

Bmaj               Emaj
>From this fire there's no returning

Amaj
No escape your heart is burning

Bmaj         Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon

Amaj
No one is too smart

         Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

         Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart

*** Main theme:

Emaj
Now upon the bridge she waits

Esus4
Dreaming of our tangled fates

    Emaj                      Esus4
Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade

    Emaj
(I) fell just like a falling star

  Esus4
A victim of this coup d'etat

  Emaj                   Esus4
I could not see behind this masquerade

*** Refrain:

Bmaj               Emaj
>From this fire there's no returning 

Amaj
No escape your heart is burning

Bmaj         Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon

     Amaj
(Be) careful where you start

         Emaj ... Esus4 
In affairs of the heart ...

         Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

         Emin ... F#min ... Gmaj
In affairs of the heart

            Amaj             Emin ... F#min ... Gmaj
Sometimes I think I'll never learn

               Amaj          Emin ... F#min ... Gmaj 
Were all those promises in vain

                Amaj       Bmin  ... Amaj
Do the wings of fire still remain

... Emaj ... Esus4 ... Emaj ... Esus4

*** Main theme:

Emaj
All is fair in love and war

    Esus4
The tender draw the shortest straw

     Emaj                    Esus4
Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air

   Emaj
Is this the time we say goodbye

  Esus4
I call her room there's no reply

  Emaj                   Esus4
Tonight we end this fleeting love affair

*** Refrain:

Bmaj               Emaj
>From this fire there's no returning

Amaj
No escape your heart is burning

Bmaj         Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon

Amaj
Sharper than a dart

         Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

         Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart

              Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

... Emaj ... Esus4

              Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

(fade out) ... Emaj ... Esus4 ... Emaj ... Esus4.
