Like Leila Khaled Said Chords
Written by Julian cope for the Album 'Wilder'.
Please note that the lyrics may be incorrect, since I focused on getting the right
chords and I couldn't rely on the live versions, where the lyrics where different.
Main riff, played during the intro, the verses and the pre-choruses:
Em Em D
e|-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
B|-x-x-8-8-x-x-8-8-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
G|-x-x-9-9-x-x-9-9-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
D|-x-x-9-9-x-x-9-9-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
A|-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
E|---------------------------------|
If you can get hold of the riff and listen to the song closely, you can play most of the song.

You can smother me with kisses
Em D
You can smother me with dreams

You can always be the mistress of my schemes
