From the Album "Not a Pretty Girl"
It seems to be in standard tuning down a half step. The main part goes something like this:
(E) - let ring (B)* (Ebm) -let ring (E)*
--------0----2------------------------------------7-------------------------------------
--------0----------------4-----------------7----------7-----------9-----(7---9---7----
--------1----------------4-----------------8-----------------------9-----------------9)-
--------2----------------4-----------------8-----------------------9--------------------
--------2----------------2-----------------6-----------------------7--------------------
--------0--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* After you play these chords you can do some random finger picking to fill in the gaps. The
notes inside the ( ) are an example of something to do. You can hear her do this on the album
(even though she doesn't use them all the time) but I don't know exactly every note so finger
it out for yurself!
This part keeps on going until the bridge-type part (after the "a thousand eyes will smoulder with jealousy while you're just flying past" and after that cool vocal part that follows). Anyway I think it goes something like this:
(E) (Esomething)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------9----------7-----------------9-----------7-----------------------------
--------9-----9----9----------------9-----9-----9---------------------------------
--------9----------9-----------------9-----------9----------------------------------
--------7----------7-----------------7-----------7---------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** let ring throughout **
And then it goes back to the other part for the rest of the song. If you have some trouble
playing this and you just want the basic chords here they are:
(E) (B) (Ebm) (E)
squint your eyes and look closer / i'm not between you and your ambition
(E) (B) (Ebm) (E)
i am a poster girl with no poster / i am thirty-two flavors and then some
(E) (B) (Ebm)
(E)
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision / so you might wanna turn your head
(E) (B) (Ebm)
(E)
cuz some day you are going to get hungry / and eat most of the words you just said
That's the basic format. It might not be right-on but it sounds pretty close so have fun with
it!
Happy Jamming!!!!!
