Posted : Musological(@gmail.com) 12/05/05 This is the live version from So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter, which is far better than the album version. It has a different rhythm so beware! Tuning (normal, but for downtuned top E): EADGBD It is played with a capo on the 2nd fret, but for simplicity I’ll post without capo transpositions. Em: 022000 or (E2): 075007 G: 320030 or 320000 C: x32000 or (C2): 870080 D: xx0200 or (D2): 10/9/0/0/10/0
A: x02200 or (A2): 540050 Right lets start (I’ll notate the basic inflections, but please fill in the rhythm yourself) Intro & Chorus: (hammer and pulls with little finger) Em G C2 D2 -----0------------0-------0---0h10p0-9p0-0h7- -----0-0---0h3----8------10------------------- --0----0---0------0-------0------------------- --2--------0------0-------0------------------- --2--------2------7-------9------------------ --0--------3------8------10------------------ Em2(*hamon) G C2 D2 ------7(7*)-------------(8s9p0)-------0---/ --0----0(7*)--0h3-----8-------(p0)----10--/ --0-----0(7*)---0-----0---------------0---/ --5-------------0-----0---------------0---/ --7-------------2-----7---------------9---/ --0-------------3-----8---------------10--/ The verses are far simpler: I am not a pretty girl, that’s not what I do, (D2) Em G C D I ain’t no damsel in distress, and I don’t need Em G C to be rescued. D So put me down punk, I am not a maiden fair, Em G C D and I am not a kitten stuck a tree somewhere! A(or A2) C(or C2) And so on, the other verses are similar, but listen out nuances and differing lengths. Have fun with the hammer and pull, I promise it is possible, and sounds great with a capo!
