Artist: Nick Cave and the Birthday Party
Song: Wild World
Album: Mutiny
-----------------------------------

This song's guitar backbone lies in the bass and little lead fills
and riffs littered around it. There are about guitar bits with 
different variations throughout. Here is the basic parts (as I heard
them) line up with the lyrics. This is by no means perfect and useful 
only as a guide. I've also placed chord letters over the lyrics in 
the second verse.

It's a wild world

Fm                        C           Bb
Church bells ring out the toll of our night
Fm                        Bb          Ab
Forward and forever backward
Forever backward forever forward alright
Strophe and antistrophe strophe and antistrophe
Antistophe antistrophe
(C'mon baby, hold me tight)
Up here in your arms tonight.
It's a wild world, and she's a wild girl
