Porcelain Tab

by Better Than Ezra



PORCELAIN  by BETTER THAN EZRA
off the album DELUXE

This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the rhythm and 
flourishes. In addition to the flourishes that I've tried to notate, 
they sometimes use Cadd4 as  passing chord in the -- passages 
between the C and F/A chords. I don't hear it in the song but I also 
like to throw a Fmaj7/A into the F/A vamps sometimes. There is also 
some bass hammer-on  played over the F/A chord soemtimes that I couldn't
figure out.

CAPO 1ST FRET !!!
(all chord names and definitions are relative to the capo)

INTRO:         (x2)

i wasn't sure which one of you requested porcelain at the end of your 
killer inside tab, but here is what i got (i saw them in pheonix on 
tuesday 
and stood three feet from griffin so i could see what he was playing):
 
Standard Tuning:            it might sound good with open chords,
                                      tuned to Eb:
 
                                   
e:--4----4----2----1--       eb:--0----2----3----2--
b:--4----6----2----3--       bb:--2----3----3----4--
g:--5----6----3----3--       gb:--2----2----0----4--
D:--6----6----4----3--       Db:--2----0----0----4--
A:--6----4----4----1--       Ab:--0----0----2----2--
E:--4---------2-------       Eb:------------3-------
 
 
Intro:    (x2)
 
                
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
                           
To show your face 'round here
                
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
                        
To dredge up all my fears
 
                  
Well I wish I could shake some sense into you
                  
And walk out the door
 
                           
But your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
 
             
Just the other day I felt
               
I had you by the strings
             
Just the other day I felt
               
We could be everything
 
             
But now when I see you, you're somebody else
                  
With somebody's eyes
 
                           
And your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
 
  
        I don't know what I'm sayin'
  
        I don't know if you're there
  
        In the words you are fadin'
                    
        Do you even care_______?
  
oooooooh
 
                  
Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight
               
Get into my car, drive into the night
            
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above
                 
That I was the last one you ever loved_____
 
                    
(skin is like) porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
          
Yeah___
