Blondie - Rapture, from Autoamerican (1980)

Written by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein.

 sounds best for this played as a barred  on the 7th fret. That way, you can add the D for the
 on the 10th fret on the E string.  These are the chords for the rhythm guitar.

Please note that this tab is for the album version (the 6.31 long version), so there are a few differences
between this tab and the single version of the song!

[Verse]

Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotised
             
And they're st

         
epping lightly
           
Hang each nigh

    
t in Rapture

    

[Verse]
            
Back to back

  ( 

  
Sacroiliac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack
Face to face
Sadly solitude
            
And it's finge

      
r popping
            
Twenty-four ho

            
ur shopping in

ie told me eve

rybody's fly
DJ's spinning I said my, my 
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sais pas, Flashe no deux
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far

{From here you play one bar of  then one bar of )

            
And you drive 

           
all night and 

              
then you see a

         
 light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
           
And out comes 

           
a man from Mar

s
And you try to run but he's got a gun
           
And he shoots 

              
you dead and h

ad
And then you're in the man from Mars
           
You go out at 

              
night, eatin' 

     
cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
           
Mercuries and 

    
Subarus
              
And you don't 

              
stop, you keep

           
 on eatin' car

 
s
           
Then, when the

re's no more c

You go out at 

              
night and eat 

           
up bars where

t
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek

One to one, ma

Dance toe to t

Don't move too

[More Rap]

Well now you s

ee what you wa

nna be
              
Just have your

          
 party on TV
              
'Cause the man

              
 from Mars won

              
't eat up bars

           
 when the TV's

     
 on


And now he's g

one back up to

 space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!
