Verse 1
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
You saw me standing by
Bbmaj7 
Gsus2 
the wall, corner of a main street
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
And the lights are flashing
Bbmaj7 
Gsus2 
on your window sill
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
Bbmaj7 
All alone     ain't much fun
Gsus2 
so you're looking for the thrill
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
Bbmaj7 
And you know just what it takes
Gsus2 
and where to go

Verse 3
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
Bbmaj7 
Pretty looking road, I try to hold
Gsus2 
the rising floods that fill my skin
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
Don't ask me why,     I'll keep
Bbmaj7 
Gsus2 
my promise, melt the ice
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
And you wanted to dance
Bbmaj7 
so I asked you to dance
Gsus2 
But fear is in your soul
Dsus2 
Fmaj7 
Some people call it a one night stand
Bbmaj7 
Gsus2 
but we can call it paradise

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner

This is the definitive original version of Save A Prayer by Duran Duran, transcribed exactly as it was recorded in the studio.

It is designed for experienced players looking to reproduce the full sonic intent and artistic expression of Duran Duran.
