"Pretty in Pink"
Originally by the Psychedelic Furs

Transcribed as played at WNUR, Chicago, 3/8/02, by Jon A.

The recording is a half step sharp, either due to the recording being sped up or John's guitar being tuned up a half step.
From the sound of his voice, I'd say the tape is running fast.
Either way, you can either tune up or capo the first fret if you want to play along.

Intro: G    Em D C   D x2

G                                          Em  D
    Caroline laughs and it's raining all day
          C                      D
    She loves to be one of the girls
    She lives in the place in the side of our lives
    Where nothing is ever put straight
    She turns herself round and she smiles and she says
    "This is it, that's the end of the joke,"
    And loses herself in her dreaming and sleep
    While her lovers walk through in their coats, she's
C   D
    Pretty in pink
C   D
    Isn't she?
    Pretty in pink
    Isn't she?
