Greetings, children of the 80`s! I`m currently celebrating my recent
purchase of Rhino records` fantastic Just Can`t Get Enough: New Wave Hits
Of The 80`s by sitting down and transcribing a few of the catchier pieces
of disposable pop from my misspent youth. Here`s installment two...
KARMA CHAMELEON by Culture Club
Composed by George O`Dowd, John Moss, Roy Hay, Mickey Craig & Phil Pickett
Transcribed by Brian Davies and Sara Asher

Intro Riff
First Bar Of Riff, Then: [A] [E] [A] [A]
Desert [A] loving in your [E] eyes all the [A] way.
If I [A] listen to your [E] lies would you [A] say
I`m a [D] man without con[E]viction,
I`m a [D] man who doesn`t [E] know
How to [D] sell a contra[E]diction.
You come and [D] go, you come and [Fm] go. [E]
[A] Karma karma karma karma [E] karma chamele[Fm]on,
You come and [D] go, you come and [A] go. [E]
[A] Loving would be easy if your [E] colours were like my [Fm] dream,
Red gold and [D] green, red gold and [A] green. [E]
Don`t [A] hear your wicked [E] words every [A] day
And you [A] used to be so [E] sweet, I heard you [A] say
That my [D] love was an ad[E]diction.
When we [D] cling our love is [E] strong.
When you [D] go you`re gone for[E]ever.
You string a[D]long, you string a[Fm]long. [E]
Chorus
[D] Every day is like [Cm] survival,
[D] You`re my lover, not my [Fm] rival.
[D] Every day is like [Cm] survival,
[D] You`re my lover, not my [Fm] ri[E]val.
[A] [E] [A] [A]
[A] [E] [A] [A]
I`m a [D] man without con[E]viction,
I`m a [D] man who doesn`t [E] know
How to [D] sell a contra[E]diction.
You come and [D] go, you come and [Fm] go. [E]
Chorus
Chorus a Capella
