Subject: TAB: "Head Over Heels" (Go-Go's)
The second greatest pop song (Texts of songs ) ever written ("What I Like About You" is
is easily our best cover. As always, a few pointers:
1) Guitar 1 - If it's in TAB, chances are it's the piano/keyboard part.
I've written it in as Guitar 1. I haven't written out the verse
part because I don't know it. I don't think you REALLY need to
know it. It's basically single notes, and while interesting, not
especially important to the overall flow of the song (Texts of songs ). So, the way
I've written it, guitar 1 is silent for most of the song (Texts of songs ). You can,
if you want, have it double guitar 2 or, if you're daring, combine
the two parts on one guitar. It's not that hard and was what my
band was going to do until we found a singer who played keyboard.
2) Guitar 2 - Rhythm. All of the chord names above the words and TABs
are guitar 2. Although it just plays basic chords, it plays a
vital part in keeping the song (Texts of songs ) moving smoothly. NEVER
underestimate the power of playing a single chord for an entire
bar. You can get the rhythm for guitar 2 from the recording. It's
a bit too difficult for me to transcribe, and I know what I play,
which may not be what the recording does. Anyway, go by ear. It's
not tough.
3) I've written out the cool bass part for the chorus because it fills
in what would be a large whole and it sounds neat besides.
4) Any time I have separated two chords with a | (as in D | A), that
means that we are dealing with more than one measure. So, in the
above example, you would play a D chord for one measure (using
whatever rhythm) and then play an A chord for one measure. I just
did this so I wouldn't have to write out in TAB chords for which
I don't know the rhythm.
5) The C and B chords in the bridge should be A-form barre chords.
6) I saw the Go-Go's live in Virginia, for the 1994 WHFS-mas Holiday
Nutcracker (with Vicki Peterson of the Bangles on guitar!), and
they didn't have a keyboard - Vicki played all the piano parts on
guitar. I'd like to think that she read my original post of this
song (Texts of songs ) to learn it, but I'm sure that wasn't the case. BTW, they
were terrific, easily one of the best live bands I've ever seen.
7) As always, Belinda Carlisle's voice is way too high for more mere
mortals to reproduce. Don't hurt yourself.
"Head Over Heels" (Kathy Valentine/Charlotte Caffey)

From the album _Talk_Show_ (or _Return_To_The_Valley_Of_The_Go-Go's_ or
_Greatest_Hits_, but if TS is available on CD, I'd highly recommend it,
though _Return_ is mighty damn good)

Been running
D G
So long, I've nearly lost all track of time
D G
In every direction, I couldn't see the warning signs
Cadd9 G
I must be losin' it, cause my mind plays tricks on me
D A
It looks so easy, but you know looks sometimes deceive
D G
Been running so fast, right from the starting line
D G
No more connections, I don't need any more advice
Cadd9 G
One hand's just reaching out, and one's just hanging on
D A
It seems my weaknesses just keep going strong
D A E
Head over heels, where should I go
(E) B
Can't stop myself, out of control
D A E
Head over heels, no time to think
(E) B D | D
Looks like the whole world's out of synch
D G
Been running so hard, when what I need is to unwind
D G
The voice of reason is one I left so far behind
Cadd9 G
I waited so long, so long to play this part
D A
And just remembered that I'd forgotten about my heart
D A E
Head over heels, where should I go
(E) B
Can't stop myself, out of control
