I'm especially keen on the your chord pages. I spend hoursq myself trying to suss out the chords. I stumbled on the Acqiuesce chord structure, which, up until the chorus is exactly the same as SUPERSONIC. F# Eminor f# Eminor A B I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive etc. Try singing this whilst listening to SUPERSONIC. Good 'ole Noel! I think the chorus is how you've said it. Cheers and good luck! KenE.
