Murder On The Dancefloor’s chords, progressions, and TAB

Sophie Ellis Bextor’s signature song was released in 2001.

Peaking at #2 in the U.K. charts it stayed around for 23 weeks, selling 600.000 copies, making Sophie a household name.

Not just a big hit in the U.K., Sophie’s hit did well in Australia, New Zeeland, and even the U.S. In Europe, it was the most played tune of 2002.

Perhaps more of a given for DJs than bands, I’ve found Murder On The Dancefloor to always be a success when bands do pick it up.

Maybe this is down to that it’s not easy to play the chords, even though there are essentially only two sections.

The serious guitarist works out all the chords and possible extensions, then makes a decision on how much of each chord he plays and what he leaves for the keyboard player. The extremely ambitious player changes the part depending on who else is on the gig!

Being this meticulous is a great idea as it keeps you awake and “on it”, rather than settling for one part you always play no matter what everyone else is doing.

To help you on the way, I’ve designed a few parts (using TAB of course) that you can use in a gig. There’s also a complete analysis of the chords so you know how to take it from there.

Here’s a link to the full lesson (members only): Murder On The Dancefloor chord analysis and TAB.
