My Love Is You Tab

by David Byrne


i like david byrne and i assume you do as well.
this song is pretty east to play.  its just basic chords with a few little licks 
intermittently.  listen for the timing.


intro:
 |  |:
 |  |  |  |
 |  |  |  |:


                
Some men desire a princess
                    
And others lust for a temptress
                        
Well I don't need one of those cause,
       
My love is you
       
My love is you

                     
Some men replace their mamas
                       
And some want a young baiana
                 
I have no use for those cause,
       
My love is you
       
My love is you


Sometimes dear
    
You tell me I'm an asshole
                                 | 
Sometimes you're an asshole too

Even though we're

Filled with imperfections
                               | 
I don't think any less of you


(Repeat intro)

                
I'm primitive and selfish
                    
I'm childlike and I'm helpless
                   
Well, I got that way because of
        
My love for you
       
My love is you
       
My love is you


there are two main licks in this song.

Lick 1, this is after the first B7:

 
-2------2-----|
-4-2-h4---2---|
-2------------|
-4------------|

Lick 2, this is after the E at the end of each stanza:

 
-0------0-------|
-0--------0-----|
-1-0-h1-----1---|

the chords i use are as follows:


             
     
-x---2---5---2----0--0--2---2----3--2---|
-5---4---7---2----2--0--3---2----3--4---|

-x---x---x---2----x--0--x---2----3--x---|

so thats pretty much it.  enjoy.
