SAHARA HOTNIGHTS - NO FOR AN ANSWER
Capo 2nd fret. 3/4 time signature.
The last part of the second verse is incorrect, but I haven't been
able to find the correct lyrics anywhere on the Internet and it's
really tricky to hear what she's singing.
This is a melody which is played in some parts of the song.  I'm not
sure what instrument this is, but it goes like this.  Just play it
using tremolo, or don't.

There are some variations, notably after the second chorus, but just
play in the same box and you'll see it's simple to figure out.  It
also occurs in all of the choruses.

Is it Gall in my mind, is it dragons and demons and Emfantasies
That your Grighteous ambitions would only be phrases and Emcharity
