Rid Of Me Tab

by Pj Harvey


Hi,

Here's another PJ Harvey tab, as compiled by Sean:

Rid of Me (from the album Rid of Me)

The chords are A, F and G, and it's really easy apart from the timing of the
opening bit, which goes:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
  .    .  .  .    . 

(Hint: play them all with down strokes, and hit the strings in a steady, eighth
note pulse.  Use your left hand to sound the chords, ie: fret the chord on the
parts where the chord sounds, mute the strings on all the rest (the `.' bits).

So...

A (the riff above)
Tie yourself to me and no one else yeah,

                                                       
You're not rid of me              Yeah, you're not rid of me


Night and day   I breathe   Ho-hot Ai-air

                                                       
You're not rid of me              Yeah, you're not rid of me

                                                             
Yeah, you're not rid of me              Yeah, you're not rid of me

                                              
I beg you    My darling    Don't leave me     I'm hurting

                    
(the falsetto bit:) Lick my legs, I'm on fire, lick my legs, of desire


I'll tie your legs, keep you against my chest

                                                               
Yeah, you're not rid of me               Yeah, you're not rid of me

                                                               
I'll make you lick my injuries      I'm gonna twist your head off centre


'Till you say:

                         
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

                         
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

                         
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

                         
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, I

                                             
Beg you     My darling    Don't leave me     I'm hurting   Be

                                                  
Lonely      Above everything    But every day     I'm hurting

                
(falsetto bit:) Lick my legs I'm on fire,  Lick my legs of desire

                                              
You're not rid of me     Yeah, you're not rid of me

                                                               
I'll make you kiss my angle face     I'm gonna turn your head off centre


'Till you say:

                         
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

                         
Don't you wish that you'd never_never met her, don't you -


And so on...  (the falsetto bit comes back in after 2 or so repeates, under the
`Don't you' bits, repeat 'till you're blue inna face)

Enjoy...
