MORE PILLS (ACOUSTIC)- Amy Ray

Tuning: Standard; no capo
This version of Amy Ray's "More Pills" is from a live acoustic version that can be found on her Noise Trade
Sampler (http://noisetrade.com/amyray/the-noisetrade-sampler). The studio version that appears on her album
"Goodnight Tender" sounds completely different (it's a country ballad) and has slightly different lyrics and
includes another repeat of the Chorus at the end of Verse 3.
A augmentedA note on playing accents: if you listen to the Noise Trade version of the song, you can hear Amy accent
certain notes and employ hammer ons throughout the song, as well as a "walk down" from the C majorC to the A minorAm in
the second line of the Chorus. Instead of tabbing all of that out, just listen to the song and play as
you like. Most of the accent are played inconsistently anyway.
