Something Gotten Hold Of My Life Chords & Lyrics - Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

[NOTE: These chords are really for Gene Pitney's original; Cave does it in
a lower key, but I haven't bothered to check out which. - Trond.]

[INTRO]
C G Em D

[Gm]Something's gotten hold of my [F]heart
Keeping my [Eb]soul and my [D7]senses a[Gm]part
Something's gotten into my [F]life
Cutting it's [Eb]way through my [D7]dreams like a [Gm]knife
[F]Turning me [Eb]up, and [D7]turning me [Gm]down
[F]Making me [Eb]smile, and [D7]making me [Gm]frown

[Gm]In a world that was [F]small
I once lived in a [Bb7]time that was [Eb]peace and no [D7]troubles at [Gm]al=
l
But then you came my [F]way
And a feeling [of] un[Gm]known shook my [F]heart,
made me [C7]want you to [F]stay
[C7]All of my [F]nights, and [C7]all of my [Eb]days

[D7] , [yeah I gotta tell you now]
[Gm]Something's gotten hold of my [F]hand
Dragging my [Eb]soul to a [D7]beautiful [Gm]land
Yeah, something has invaded my [F]night
Painting my [Eb]sleep with a [D7]colour so [Gm]bright
[F]Changing the [Eb]grey, and [D7]changing the [Gm]blue
[F]Scarlet for [Eb]me, and [D7]scarlet for [G]you

[C] , [G] , [Em] , [A]
I [A7]got to know if this is the real thing
I [A9]got to know it's making my heart sing
Wo-hoo-[D]o-ye-e-e-e-e e-[D9]
You [D7]smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each [D9]minute spent with you is the [D7]right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah
Baby, baby

[Gm]Something's gotten hold of my [F]hand
Dragging my [Eb]soul to a [D7]beautiful [Gm]land
Something has invaded my [F]night
Painting my [Eb]sleep with a [D7]colour so [Gm]bright
[F]Changing the [Eb]grey, and [D7]changing the [Gm]blue
=46GmScarlet for [Eb]me, and [D7]scarlet for [Gm]you

[* Play the Bb7 as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right,
i.e. 686766. - Trond.]

Comments from: Paul McMullan :

The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they
should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For
example, [F]scarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of
the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always
correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree
