      Song: Can't get it out of my head
Artist: ELO
Composer: Jeff Lynne
Album: Eldorado

Tabbed by DJ
26th June 2015

This is the original album version with 3 verses,
the single version misses out Verse 2 and a chorus.

The C bass notes in the intro and choruses is a
distinctive part of the arrangement, but you could
play standard major chords on guitar, as I think Jeff
Lynne does, particularly if you have additional bass or
keyboard accompaniment that could play that bass note.
The Cadd9 I felt was a subtler option reflecting the
keyboards, but again you could play a standard C major.

C     = x32010    Asus2 = x02200    C7 = x32310
G/C   = x35433    A4    = x02230    F7 = 131211
F/C   = x33211    Fmaj7 = 133210    G7 = 353433
Cadd9 = x32030    G     = 355433    Ab = 466544
Am    = x02210    Cmaj7 = x32000    Bb = 688766

[Verse 1]
 Cadd9              Am     Asus2 Am
Midnight ...on the water,
Cadd9                   Am       A4 Am
  I saw ...the ocean's daughter,
 Fmaj7                 Dm
Walking on a wave she came,
 Fmaj7                    Am    G
Staring as she called my name------!


[Chorus]
       C           G/C        F/C
And I can't get it out of my head,

     No, I can't get it out of my head,
         C            G/C       F/C    G
Now my whole world is gone for dead,

'Cause I can't get it out of my head,  ...no!

 Cadd9               Am        Asus2 Am
Breakdown ...on the shoreline,
Cadd9                Am        A4  Am
Can't move, it's an ebb tide,
 Fmaj7                       Dm
Morning don't get here 'til night,
 Fmaj7                    Am    G
Searching for her silver light------!


[Chorus]
       C           G/C        F/C
And I can't get it out of my head,
G/C       C           G/C       F/C    G/C
 No, I...can't get it out of my head,

Now my whole world is gone for dead,
           C           G         F         G
'Cause I can't get it out of my head,  no, no!

Bank job in the city,           Robin Hood and William Tell,
      C                               Am            A4 Am
And Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me, yeah,
Fmaj7                      Dm
Sitting 'til the sun goes down,
   Fmaj7                          Am          G
In dreams the world keeps going 'round and 'round!
