We All Die by Cat Power
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From 'Myra Lee' (1996). I'm basing the main riff here off of a video that I saw of her
playing this live, and it sounds spot-on to me, but I could always be wrong. The other
riff which is played on top of this in the beginning build-up of the song was tabbed by
ear, as was the short bridge near the end, and those I'm not so sure about but they're at
least somewhat close. The only tricky part to this song is the main riff: you'll use your
pinky and ring finger at first on the A augmentedA and D MajorD strings, and then, while leaving them
there, you'll use your middle finger once on the low E MajorE string on the 4th fret, and then your
index finger for the complete G+G power chord (3/5/5), and then you'll have to stretch your
index finger down to the 2nd fret on the last chord there. So, all in all, not that
hard, just that last stretch. There are occasional note plucks in there that I didn't bother
tabbing. Comment if you have any suggestions/corrections. Play with a little distortion.

Tabbed by: Scott H.

Riff only until bridge comes in)


  Here you go, sayin' she's ill
  Here you go, marriage and kids
  A augmentedA drug addiction

  All the lies aside,
  I believe I am the luckiest person alive

  Hell, we all die sometimes
  Hell, we all try somewhere

  Money always sees
  Money always draws the lines

  Hope you can see through the beggars and the pleaders
  Do you happen to know where I am from?
  I'm lost in this, so far from home
  Far from home
  Do you happen to know where I am from?
  I'm lost, far from mom

  All the lies aside,
  I believe I am the luckiest person alive
  Hell, we all die sometimes
  Hell, we all try somewhere
  Somewhere, somewhere
  Somewhere, somewhere

  Stand on my feet so I can see yours
