Phil Manzanera – Hot Spot chords

[Intro]

B   F#11   x 14

[Verse 1]

E            D/A   I just drove into town today
E               D/A  To sample the flesh pots
E           D/A   And all the girls I talk to say
E                      D/A  "We need help at the hot spot"
A   A#    B                               A   A#  I say well think I've got the help, you see
B                                   A   A#  Been deep-fishing all through the week
B                                    A  And I've never been no radio freak
   A#      B9                                C#So you can teach me the latest dance little darling

[Chorus]

F#Come on, let's go where the night sky breaks
              F#7                       F#We've got the noise at a thousand watts

Where the bass vibrations make the building shake

And everybody's dancing, dancing at the hot spot
       B        B7                          B6It's a wildfire sensation, you just got to know
    B        B#11             Badd11     BThe neon radiation makes your body glow

[Verse 2]

E         D/A   My pickup told me I'm a lazy dog
E                   D/A  Cause I dig to go cruising
E         D/A    And I was riding high on a hog
E                       D/A  Till saw what she was using
A   A#     B                          A   A#   B  I said hey, baby what do you need a needle for
                                 A        A#She said, it used to be illegal, now it's the law
B                             A    A#   B9  We all shooting atropine to make damn sure
                                C#Every day since they started up third brutal war

[Chorus]

F#  Let's go where the night sky breaks
          F#7                           F#With your flame and your bear-skin rugs

Where the mounting guns make the buildings quake

And everybody's burning, burning at the hot spot
       B        B7                        B6It's a hellfire creation, nobody wants to know
    B           B#11             Badd11     BThe neutron radiation makes your body glow

[Instrumental]

E   D/A   x 4

[Verse 3]

A   A#     B  I said man, I read about this in a magazine
A     A#    B                                 A    A#  But I'm not prepared I can't stand what I'm seeing
BThere's no fun on the disco scene
A   A#   B9                               C#     And there's no future in America's dream

[Chorus]

   F#Oh no, don't go where the night sky breaks
          F#7                  F#Where the white sun rise at midnight

And there's a heatwave coming, makes the building shake

And everybody's dying, dying at the hot spot
       B           B7                          B6It's a wildfire sensation, you don't need to know
    B        B#11             Badd11     BThe neon radiation makes your body glow

E    D/A            E           It makes your body glow
D/A     At the hot spot.
E   D/A           E                D/AOoh ooh   Ooh ooh ooh    ooh ooh ooh
