NOTE: These chords are really for Gene Pitney's original; Cave does it in 
a lower key, but I haven't bothered to check out which.  - Trond.  
 
 
 
INTRO: 
  C G Em D   
 
 Gm Something's gotten hold of my  F heart 
Keeping my  Eb soul and my    D7 senses   a Gm part 
Something's gotten into my  F life 
Cutting it's  Eb way through my    D7 dreams   like a  Gm knife 
 F Turning me  Eb up, and    D7 turning   me  Gm down 
 F Making me  Eb smile, and    D7 making   me  Gm frown 
 
 Gm In a world that was  F small 
I once lived in a    Bb7 time   that was  Eb peace and no    D7 troubles   at  Gm al= 
l 
But then you came my  F way 
And a feeling  of  un Gm known shook my  F heart, 
made me    C7 want   you to  F stay 
   C7 All   of my  F nights, and    C7 all   of my  Eb days 
 
   D7     yeah I gotta tell you now  
 Gm Something's gotten hold of my  F hand 
Dragging my  Eb soul to a    D7 beautiful    Gm land 
Yeah, something has invaded my  F night 
Painting my  Eb sleep with a    D7 colour   so  Gm bright 
 F Changing the  Eb grey, and    D7 changing   the  Gm blue 
 F Scarlet for  Eb me, and    D7 scarlet   for  G you 
 
   C       G       Em       A    
I    A7 got   to know if this is the real thing 
I    A9 got   to know it's making my heart sing 
Wo-hoo- D o-ye-e-e-e-e e- D9  
You    D7 smile   and I am lost for a lifetime 
Each    D9 minute   spent with you is the    D7 right   time 
Every hour, every day 
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah 
Baby, baby 
 
  Gm  Something's gotten hold of my   F  hand 
Dragging my   Eb  soul to a    D7  beautiful   Gm land 
Something has invaded my  F night 
Painting my  Eb sleep with a    D7 colour   so  Gm bright 
 F Changing the  Eb grey, and    D7 changing   the  Gm blue 
=46 Scarlet for  Eb me, and    D7 scarlet   for  Gm you

Comments from: Paul McMullan : 
 
The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they 
should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For 
example,  F scarlet ... means the   F   is played on the s. My positioning of 
the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always 
correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree 
with the chord  or note  in the piano notation.
