A star is born

[Chorus]
Am                 F      
Let’s go paint the town on
         C
 our way home
Am           F         
The blinking lights are
          C
 breaking bones
(oooh)
C             Am
Cast all your spells
              F
And there you have
     Fm

       Am
 razzmatazz
Am Em Em7

[Verse 2]
Am 
Oh
Am
You broke my heart again
Em
You climbed up on your other tower
Em
And you payed off all my friends
                      Am
And ah well...Some things 
just cannot be fixed
Am
with sparkle tongues and politics
Em
In a facist little paradox
Em
We all become anonymous

[Chorus]
Am                 F     
Let’s go paint the town on 
          C
our way home
Am           F         
The blinking lights are 
          C
breaking bones
(oooh)
C             Am
Cast all your spells
              F
And there you have
     Fm                       Am
That good old fashioned razzmatazz

How to play Razzmatazz: key, chords and progression

Razzmatazz by I Don’t Know How But They Found Me is built around A minor (no sharps or flats), with 12 chords in all: Am, Em, Em7, F, C, Fm, Dm, Ab7, Ab, G, Eb and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – C – Am – F (VI – III – i – VI in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F, Fm, Ab7, Ab and Eb are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
