Guitar Tab

Martha Wainwright “ BMFA - Tabbed by Leo Barker (leo.barker@gmail.com) 25/02/07

Chords:
D - XX0232            G/D - XX0797   A/D - XX09119 Em9(no 5th)- xx2032   G5 - 3x0033  G5(1) -
3X0032   Em9 - 022032          A - x03330

This song isn't nearly as hard as these chords would make out, but since there are so many
poorly tabbed versions out there, I thought I'd throw mine into the mix which is certainly
a bit more accurate.
For the D and G/D chords that open the song and are repeated throughout, you need to hammer-on
the first finger onto the middle G string, listen for the timing.

So you are going from this:     xx0032      ...to this:     xx232.    And then this:    xx0097  ....to this:    xx0797.

The only other thing to note is that she alternates between using the G5 and the G5(1)
chord as I have labelled it above, so just listen for which is used where.
Intro:
D     G/D
D				         G/D
Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
D 					     G/D
And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired, overfired.
D

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
And I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke,
                G/D
there's no more fire
       A/D
Only desire
 		     Em9(no 5th)
For you, whoever you are
                     D
For you, whoever you are


Second Verse:
D				           G/D
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
                         D
That I've been messing around some sort of
            G/D
incubating period
			  D
For when I really come around
             G5                  Em9
I'm cracking up and you have no idea
		G5(1)		     D
No idea how it feels to be on your own
	    G5(1)		  D
In your own home with the fucking phone

		  G5   <---- note not G5(1)
And the mother of gloom
	   D
In your bedroom
		   G5(1)
Standing over your head
		      Em9
With her hand in your head,
                      D
with her hand in your head
	   G5			      D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
		       G5
I will not say I'm all right for you
           A
when all I wanted was to be good
		    G5
To do everything in truth,
                    D
to do everything in truth

From here on there are no surprises and you can follow the patterns above and just
listen to match the chords.  Any questions or corrections please feel free to get in contact.
