Plastic Fantastic Lover tab by Jefferson Airplane

Tabs

Great proto-punk song by Jefferson Airplane, originally on SURRREALISTIC PILLOW (1967)
later a spectacular live version on BLESS ITS POINTED LITTLE HEAD (1968). The only other
on the internet is extremely inaccurate, and I'm sure this tab is perfect.

Verse:
C# minorC#m
Her neon mouth with the blinking soft smile

C# minorC#m
Is nothing but an electric sign

C# minorC#m
You could say she has an individual style

C# minorC#m
She’s part of a colorful time


Chorus:

A minorAm         D MajorD
Super-sealed lady, chrome-color clothes

E minorEm         D MajorD
You wear 'cause you have no other

A minorAm      D MajorD
But I suppose no one knows

BB
You're my plastic fantastic lover

Repeat Intro

Verse 2:

C# minorC#m
Your rattlin' cough never shuts off

C# minorC#m
Is nothin' but a used machine

C# minorC#m
Your aluminum finish, slightly diminished

C# minorC#m
Is the best I ever have seen

Chorus 2:

A minorAm      D MajorD
Cosmetic baby plugged into me

E minorEm       D MajorD
And never ever find another

A minorAm       D MajorD
And I realize no one's wise

BB
To my plastic fantastic lover

Verse 3:

C# minorC#m
The electrical dust is starting to rust

C# minorC#m
Her trapezoid thermometer taste

C# minorC#m
All the red tape is mechanical rape

C# minorC#m
Of the TV program waste


Chorus 3:

A minorAm        D MajorD
Data control and IBM

E minorEm          D MajorD
Science is mankind's brother

A minorAm        D MajorD
But all I see is drainin' me

BB
On my plastic fantastic lover
