D F#m G Oh my love, Janine, I'm helpless for your smile E E7 A G D Like a Polish wanderer I travel ever onwards to your land A G F#m And were it not just for the jewels I'd close your hand D F#m G Your strange demand to 'collocate' my mind E E7 A Scares me into gloom, you're too intense G D I'll have to keep you in your place A G F#m I've no defence, I've got to keep my veil on my face Chorus: D D/C G C G Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well C G F C But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face D D/C G C G Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls C G But if you take an axe to me F C you'll kill another man D C G C D C G C D Not me at all You're fey, Janine, a tripper to the last But if I catch you standing on my toes I'll have a right to shout you down For you're a lazy stream, in which my thoughts would drown So stay, Janine, and we can glide along I've caught your wings for laughs I'm not obliged to read your statements of the year So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  E  E7  F  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
