Chords:
- XX0232 - XX0797 - XX09119 (no 5th) - xx2032-|
G5 - 3x0033 G5(1) - 3X0032 Em9 - 022032 A -x03330---------|
This song isn’t nearly as hard as these chords would make out, but since there are so
poorly tabbed versions out there, I thought I’d throw mine into the mix which is certainly
bit more accurate.
For the D and G/D chords that open the song and are repeated throughout, you need to
the first finger onto the middle G string, listen for the timing.
So you are going from this: xx0032 ...to this: xx232. And then this:
....to this: xx0797.
The only other thing to note is that she alternates between using the G5 and the G5(1)
as I have labelled it above, so just listen for which is used where.
Intro:
Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired, overfired.
And I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke, there's no more fire
Only desire
(no 5th)
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
Second Verse:
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
That I've been messing around some sort of incubating period
For when I really come around I'm cracking up
And you have no idea
(1)
No idea how it feels to be on your own
(1)
In your own home with the fucking phone
G5 <---- note not G5(1)
And the mother of gloom
In your bedroom
(1)
Standing over your head
With her hand in your head, with her hand in your head
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
From here on there are no surprises and you can follow the patterns above and just
to match the chords. Any questions or corrections please feel free to get in contact.
