Tabbed by: axe victim
Email: Leave a message on my ‘Ultimate Guitar’ profile or comment
here and I’ll get back to you.
It's about time I did a tidy and more accurate tab for this old favourite
from the Sunburst Finish album. As usual, I have plundered both the
live and studio versions for this tab. The guitar solo is from the
studio version. I think all the info you need is there.

Lyrics:
Here we come in a cloud, stars in our eyes,
Standing up proud it's a perfect disguise,
So much to give, so much to gain
Just give me your money and I'll give you my pain
It's a fair exchange ( fair exchange )
Now Tia Maria, she leans on the wall
Looks in the mirror and pukes on the floor
Tries to remember the cause of it all...
He just gave her a drink and she gave him a ball
It's a fair exchange ( fair exchange )
But I expect you expect a lot from me
I can feel your burning need
Your greedy, seedy fantasies are guaranteed
To make my young heart bleed
For you and your pubescent blues
Yes, you and your dancing shoes
You and your sad glad news
About your boyfriend Stan,
He's a dirty flirty man
And he'll get you if he can
Oh, look out!
Here I stand in a daze, axe in my hand
Another fool on the stage with a travelling band
There's a space in my heart, a permanent flame
Just give me your body and I'll give you my brain
It's a fair exchange ( fair exchange )
Now Venus De Milo, a statue of note
She lays in the gutter with a knife at her throat
Naked as sin, no not even a coat
She gave you a thrill so you gave her a grope
It's a fair exchange ( fair exchange )
Still I expect you expect a lot from me
I know you all...
The show goes on despite the wrong
The strong still rise and the weak still fall
This song is up to you,
All along, You never knew
This song is coming on through
To take you for a ride
It's tested, true and tried
Even though it almost lied...
Words & music by Bill Nelson.
