@Pollito: It wouldn’t be “bad” if you said from which thread did you get them and who transcribed them. :)

Thanks. It sounds perfectly right.

I transcribed them originally :)
Maybe there are mistakes in the text. Who’s done chords I’m not sure

There are chords missing. I’ll try to writte them later when I hear the song. And maybe there are mistakes too.
For instance when PG sings ’You took a ride to the other side but I loved you...’, after the C#m7 PG plays a B chord before playing A chord. Listen it carefully and you’ll notice that.

I think that G#m fits better than Emaj7

It looks a lot like the way I post chords and “I do believe is a cut and paste from my post on december the 27th of 2002:

http://www2.dailyroxette.com/smalltalk/thread.php/4960

And Stay looks a lot like a cut and paste of what Ferdan posted that very same day...

http://www2.dailyroxette.com/smalltalk/thread.php/4981

So you didn’t transcribe them, Antimario.

if i remember, i think
antimario transcribe the lyrics.... you santi made some of the chords and i corrected some and did the rest of the chords in Stay.... i cna’t remember

Dear Santi, I transcribed lyrics when nobody here even had the book with demos received :)
I placed texts onto www.rox.net.ru and later after a question for lyrics here on TDR Igor M placed them here with reference to me. So check old threads more carefully.
I know only me could make mistake in “I Do Believe” in “some got affairs of tragic” ’cos Per is definetly sings there “flares of tragic”.
I did not chords though and here you served great :)
Cheers.

I thought you referred to the chords, sorry :D
