Verse 1
Abmaj7          Dbmaj7        N.C.
	Come          closer
 
Abmaj7             Dbmaj7   			   NC
      Feel             what you’ve been dyin for
 
Gb(addG#)                   Fm              Bbm                Bb*7   NC
            Don’t      be afraid, baby.     Touch it    and explode.
 
(Same pattern is followed for verse 2…)
Understand, understand that I love you
Ah, but more than that, I want you
Everybody always told me good things come to those who wait
But I’ve got so much on the menu, I just can’t, I just can’t…
(until…)
 
Abmaj7		     Dbmaj7(sus4)    Dbmaj7
    I can’t wait baby,                 I can’t wait
 
    Abmaj7(addE)   Amaj7(addB)
baby,                     to wrap
 
Dbmaj7(addA)           Dbmaj7
my legs all around you girl
 
    Gb(addG)
Cuz sugar you know you’re just the kind of lover
 
Fm6
   I’ve been looking for
 
Bbm						
Tonight why don’t we skip all the foreplay mama
 
Fb*7
    and just get down here on the floor?
 
 
Chorus
Ab		Dbmaj7
    Scandalous       I’m talking about you and me
 
Ab		Dbmaj7
     Marvelous 	     Baby, baby, can’t you see?
 
Gb				     Fm
    Anything you ever dreamed of 	I’m willing to be
 
Bbm					  Fb*7
   Tonight is gonna be scandalous cuz tonight I’m gonna be
your fantasy
 
(then comes a solo-type of part (“My dearest, my dearest”)
which follows this chord pattern, slightly different than before)
 
Abmaj7    Dbmaj7   N.C.  Abmaj7   Dmaj7    NC
Gb(addG#)   Fm  Bbm   Bb(?)
 
Verse 3 (same as Verse 1 except where indicated *)
Whisper, whisper a question
With my body, I’ll scream a reply
Ebm7*
Anything’s acceptable
Just ask me and I’ll try
To hell with hesitation
     Bb(?)*
To hell with reasons why
 
Outro
Essentially the same as Verse 1
 
Note: There are various keyboard riffs he plays
throughout the song which I will transcribe at a later date.
