Here is, at long last, the charts for PJ Harvey's "O Stella" soo...

"O STELLA"
By PJ Harvey (Transcription by Sean)


The main riff goes:
(The top reads the chords and tags (riffs), the next line is the rhythm figure,
and finally the tabs.  The `>' signifies a slight bend)

                       Tag

    1   +   a  2   +   3   +   4   +

g|--3-------3--3---2------------------|
d|--4-------4--4---2------------------|
a|--4-------4--4---O-----------O---3--|

So, the song goes:

(No chords)
   Stella Marie you're my star
   
(The full riff above, then:)

                                       
   Stella Marie you're my star

                                       
   Stand on ground look up at her

                                       
   Just hanging in gold stone

                                       
   Just hanging there face froze
  
                      
   But I think I see her smiling

                 
   Think I see her smiling

                
   Think I see her smiling

                
   Think I see her smiling

(With riff above:)

           Tag#1
   Go

           Tag#1
   Go

           Tag#1
   Go

   Tag#2
   Go    Go
 

(The second verse, same as the first)
  
   Stella Marie you're my star
   In your blue blue tavern you light my lantern
   O Stella's large
   Pink almond face
   It's glowing in space
   
   A place for heroes only
   Place for heroes only
   Place for heroes only
   Place for heroes only
   Go
   Go
   Go
   Go Go Go Go
   
   Stella Marie you're my star
   I pin you to my chest
   Sell you to the rest
   I kiss her gown
   Send those angels down to woo me now 

   I think I see her smiling
   Think I see her smiling
   Think I see her smiling
   Think I see her smiling
   Go
   Go
   Go
   Go Go
   Go
   Go
   Go
   Go Go
   Go
   Go
   Go
   Go Go


Thar she goes,

Tara now,
