Like Leila Khaled Said Chords

(ver. 1)
Teardrop Explodes
Written by Julian cope for the Album 'Wilder'.
Please note that the lyrics may be incorrect, since I focused on getting the right 
chords and I couldn't rely on the live versions, where the lyrics where different.

Main riff, played during the intro, the verses and the pre-choruses:

      Em      Em    D
E|-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
B|-x-x-8-8-x-x-8-8-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
G|-x-x-9-9-x-x-9-9-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
D|-x-x-9-9-x-x-9-9-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
A|-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
E|---------------------------------|

If you can get hold of the riff and listen to the song closely, you can play most of the song.

        Em              D
You can smother me with kisses
        Em              D
You can smother me with dreams
        Em              D
You can always be the mistress of my schemes
        Em              D

        Em              D
But the sound is a very special thing
        Em              D
It can leave you at the start
        Em              D
It can see you standing naked
        Em              D
In a drawer

pre-chorus:
        Em              D
But another ship could find you
        Em              D
And now's your chance, and now's your chance
        Em              D
Another ship could find you
        Em              D
And now's your chance, and now's your chance

chorus:
Am        Bm           Am*
Just like Leila Khaled said

Am        Bm               Em    D [Main Riff]
Just like Leila Khaled said

Am        Bm               Em    D [Main Riff]
Just like Leila Khaled said

verse 2:

        Em              D
Meeting People round the table
        Em              D
Trying hard to get excited for your brand new name
        Em              D
Bringing friends all round for dinner
        Em              D
Show an [incomprehenisble] and christal was here...

Chorus

[small guitar solo]

[Bridge, I'm sorry but I couldn't comprehend that aswell, the chords are the same as the 
main riff]
