[ch]E7[/ch]              [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThere was danger in the room[/tab]\r\n[tab]                       [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd a whole lotta sin, sweat and skin [/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]E7[/ch]                [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd the smell of cheap perfume[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 7]\r\n[tab]                                    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBut through the lusty display was a woman in grey
