[Verse 1]
E                            A
Gloria, you're always on the run now
              E
Running after somebody, 
                  A
you gotta get him somehow
                      E
I think you've got to slow down 
                    A
before you start to blow it
                            E
I think you're headed for a breakdown, 
                     A
so be careful not to show it
 
[Chorus]
                 F#m       B
You really don't remember, 
                         E     A
was it something that he said?
                       D    E
Are the voices in your head 
              A
calling, Gloria?
E                              A
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
             E
If everybody wants you, 
                  A
why isn't anybody callin'?
                  E      G
You don't have to answer
                          D           E
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, 
             A
calling Gloria
E
Gloria (Gloria), 
                      A
I think they got your number (Gloria)
                     E
I think they got the alias (Gloria) 
                        A
that you've been living under (Gloria)
                     F#m       B
But you really don't remember, 
                           E     A
was it something that they said?
                       D    E
Are the voices in your head 
              A
calling, Gloria?
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
                  E
A-ha-ha, A-ha-ha, Gloria,
                  A
how's it gonna go down?
                         E
Will you meet him on the main line, 
                             A
or will you catch him on the rebound?
                       E
Will you marry for the money, 
                    A
take a lover in the afternoon?
                    E
Feel your innocence slipping away, 
                          A
don't believe it's comin' back soon
 
[Chorus]
                     F#m       B
And you really don't remember, 
                         E     A
was it something that he said?
                       D    E
Are the voices in your head 
              A
calling, Gloria?
E                              A
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
             E
If everybody wants you, 
                  A
why isn't anybody callin'?
                  E      G
You don't have to answer
                          D           E
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, 
             A
calling Gloria
E
Gloria (Gloria), 
                      A
I think they got your number (Gloria)
                     E
I think they got the alias (Gloria) 
                        A
that you've been living under (Gloria)
                     F#m       B
But you really don't remember, 
                           E     A
was it something that they said?
                       D    E
Are the voices in your head 
              A
calling, Gloria?

(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)
 E       A       E       A       E       A

2. Version of the song
 
[Intro]

[Verse]
B
Gloria
            E
manchi tu nell'aria
              B
manchi ad una mano
           E
che lavora piano
                B
manchi a questa bocca
                 E
che cibo piu non tocca
                B
e sempre questa storia
                  E
che lei la chiamo Gloria.
                C#m     F#
Gloria sui tuoi fianchi
                    B    E
la mattina nasce il sole
                   A     B
entra odio ed esce amore
              E
dal nome Gloria.
B
Gloria 
             E
manchi tu nell'aria
               B
manchi come il sale
                  E
mi manchi piu del sole
               B    D
sciogli questa neve
                   A     B
che soffoca il mio petto
               E
t'aspetto Gloria.
B                E
Gloria chiesa di campagna
          B
acqua nel deserto
                 E
lascio aperto il cuore
                 C#m     F#
scappa senza far rumore
                   B    E
dal lavore dal tuo letto
                  A     B
dai gradini di un altare
                E
ti aspetto Gloria.
 
[Instrumental]
B E
 
[Verse]
B                         E
Gloria per chi attende il giorno
            B
e invece di dormire
               E
con la memoria torna
               B
a un tuffo nei papaveri
             E
in una terra libera
                B
per chi respira nebbia
                E
per chi respira rabbia
                 C#m    F#
per me che senza Gloria
                B      E
con te nuda sul divano
                 A       B
faccio stelle di cartone
                E
pensando a Gloria.
B
Gloria 
             E
manchi tu nell'aria
               B
manchi come il sale
                  E
mi manchi piu del sole
               B    D
sciogli questa neve
                   A     B
che soffoca il mio petto
               E
t'aspetto Gloria.
B                E
Gloria chiesa di campagna
          B
acqua nel deserto
                 E
lascio aperto il cuore
                 C#m     F#
scappa senza far rumore
                   B    E
dal lavore dal tuo letto
                  A     B
dai gradini di un altare
                E
ti aspetto Gloria.

What this "tab" calls the "Chorus" (the part beginning with the words "You really don't remember") it's actually the Pre-Chorus, there are two actual Choruses, one beginning with the words "Gloria, don't you think you're falling?" and the other one beginning with the words "Gloria, I think they've got your number"
