EASY TO PLEASE (Key of E) (D. Hudson) DOUBLE RIFF TO START :
E
Saturday night, on the prowl down the boulevard, Intoxicated, I got a broken heart
Walk those city streets of night, Those girls ain’t treatin’ me right.....
Stop! Check my composure, Lady of the night, I'm gonna expose ya
Losin control, I’m goin’ insane, Weird things goin on in my brain
Sometimes, I like to play rough, So tell me baby; when you've had enough
your lips taste so delightful, I'm under your spell baby I'm your disciple.
E G C A
YOU COULD SAY IM EASY TO PLEASE
YOU COULD SAY YOUR LOVE MAKES ME WEAK AT THE KNEES
I CAN'T FIGHT IT, IT'S LIKE A DISEASE
E G A
SO PRETTY PLEASE ME, IM EASY TO PLEASE
E
I’m not much up for chit chat, Plenty of time for that back at your flat
Folks say I’m cheap and sleazy But (........STOP) honey, I prefer to think I’m.. free & easy
What’s that? You’re ready to dine, You there baby, you lookin’ fine
O Sweet Mercy, come fuel the fire, and we'll fill the night with desire
E G C A
YOU COULD SAY IM EASY TO PLEASE
YOU COULD SAY YOUR LOVE MAKES ME WEAK AT THE KNEES
I CAN'T FIGHT IT, IT'S LIKE A DISEASE

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER (D. Hudson)
C D (X4)
Em F#/D
Hello Precious, Imagine seeing you here!
I’ve missed you so much but I’m back you have nothing to fear
Remember when I said NEVER SAY NEVER but you were quite clever and you stormed off into night
Run me through it, baby…Why’d ya do it, baby?
All this thinking is making me hungry, why don’t you join me for a bite?
Well, pucker up Buttercup, toughen up Princess
Lay your soul bare, am I causing you distress
I picture you screamin’ at night when I’m dreamin.......OMG! You’re not…. VEGAN? Are you?
Em Cmaj7 C+ Cmaj7
Your days are numbered, I’m comin round,
Sleep baby, slumber, Fall to the ground, Fall to the ground, Fall to the ground
As the poison works its way down
Em F#/D Em D
(Short Solo)
You held the chance in your hands then you let it slip through,
Now I hold you in contempt of everything I hold true (you’re in the stew!)
Clock Strikes, it’s time to go, time goes so slow
But I’ve got some games we can play
There’s fire burns and…swallow the worm, excuse me,
While I put some funky love in my veins
Can you feel your last meal is just hours away?
Quickly now precious, the beast has been browned
The blood has been boiled, the bones have been ground
You’re gonna enjoy this beautiful poison - EAT – BON APPETITE!
Your days are numbered, I’m coming round,
Sleep baby, slumber, fall to the ground, Fall to the ground, fall to the ground
As the poison works its way down
C D C D
You labelled me insane, You called me a freak
C D C D
Now you just sit there screaming my name – JUST SHUT UP AND EAT!
Em F#/D
GUESS WHO’S COMIN’ TO DINNER TONIGHT?

THIS STRANGE EMOTION (D. Hudson)
G D G Em
I've got a key to the rainbow,
G D G Em
I tripped on something you said.
G D G Em
I never wanted any trouble,
G D G Em
But I've got a fire in my head.
F C G D
What you do with your life, make it worth the while
F C G
and just try.
F C G D
We deserve everything we’re entitled to
F C Em
We’re entitled to a life.
Well I sought to unlock the rainbow,
to set free the colours in the sky,
But in my haste to release them,
The clouds and the shadows passed me by
F C G D
Now I think about it, let me off
F C G
This strange emotion
F C G D
Nothing else I can do, let me off
F C Em
This strange emotion
C F Em
Mother I've got a strange kinda light in my eyes
C F Em
Hey! Do you think I'm alright?
C F Em
Mother I've been missing I've been trippin through the jungle
C F Em
But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
(2 bar instrumental)
Strange emotion, Strange emotion, Strange emotion, Strange emotion
I lost my key to the rainbow,
I misplaced the thoughts in my head
I went looking for salvation,
My soul it yearns to be fed
Strange emotion, Strange emotion
Strange emotion, Strange emotion
Well I found my key to the rainbow...

Wooo hooooo! Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Cm7 G (C G)
This one goes out to my newlywed, my squeeze, my woman, my girl,
Why do I love you Shells? Ha yeah, yo….Simples….
You love with me with a passion, never rushin, now we’re smashin’ it
KISS HUG PUSH as we make love the fashion.
My head gets fuzzy, my pulse gets busy
When you oooooh girl, you know you make me dizzy.
My heart went zoom when you entered the room
I’m so in love with you girl BOOM BOOM.
My Missus Delicious, I’m fishin’ for your wishes
Well I couldn’t wish for any dishier dishes.
Your face is so precious, No need to be suspicious!
Kissy Kissy Kiss your command is my wish
The sight of you inspires incites my desire
You’re like a white hot heat that lights up my fire,
Why? Coz when you call me on the phone,
It goes RING RING RING
And my mind is blown.
WOOF WOOF WOOF
I’m like a puppy with a bone.
Hey there Wilma I’m your Fred Flintstone
Your love is like a party when I’m feelin, when I, When I’m feelin all alone.
You leave me with a smile, I’d fly a thousand miles
To be with you Baby coz our love has style.
My heart is ablaze and I’m star gazing
You look at me and smile, it‘s so amazing!
Now I don’t wanna bore ya but I so adore her
I guarantee y’all I’ll do anything for her
And please understand that I’ve longed for her hand
We’re gonna do everything just as we planned
It’s not hard to see, what you mean to me,
You’ll always feel loved, baby I’ll make you see
If that’s not enough, I got heaps more stuff
You’re a diamond amongst pearls; a jewel in the rough.
And when the end is nigh, and I sigh my last sigh and I die
I might just spy on you from high in the sky.
My love is not token, I ain’t freakin jokin’
Truer words have barely very rarely been spoken
Let’s not steer clear, slide it in to top gear
I’ll always be near here, no need to fear.
Coz we’re gonna be delirious year after year
Quick before it starts; grab me a beer?
Why? Coz when you call me on the phone,
It goes RING RING RING
And my mind is blown.
I’m like WOOF WOOF WOOF
just a puppy with a bone.
Hey there Wilma I’m your Fred Flintstone
Your love is like a party when I’m feelin, when I, When I’m feelin all alone.
