intro (keyboard)
F5 Eb5 D5 (x4, keyboard bass enters 2nd time) C5
then: Bb Ab F (x4) Bb F Ab, Bb F
then a four note riff played by bass and keyboards (no chords), notes: G E F F# (x8)
n.b. if you are playing this on an acoustic guitar, just play the chord G.
Did you hear about the man, used to live out in Iran
He was luxury's greatest fan, people ate out of his hand
People ate out of his hand, shah shah a go go
Shah shah a go go, shah shah a go go
Shah shah a go go
Sold the english all their oil, made the people work the soil
Thought his kind had got it made, but his kind just had to pay to fade
But his kind just had to pay, shah shah a go go
Shah shah a go go, shah shah a go go
Shah shah a go go
Then a priest in Paris, France made the people get up and dance
Sold cassettes for 60p, said he's set the people free
We shall see, we shall see, shah shah a go go
Shah shah a go go, shah shah a go go
Shah shah a go go
Shah shah a go go (x6)
(note: at this point in the song there are no chords as such, just
ascending bass and keyboards, I'm unsure as to what Hugh plays
during this outro)
bass notes: Bb5 B5 Db5 Eb5, E5 F5 Gb5 G5,
keyboard enters: D5 C5 A5
the song ends on G, in which the band do a quick reprise of the main
riff of 'Ice'.
