[Verse]
EAbm
This has got to die, this has got to stop
F#mAm
This has got to lie down, with someone else on top
EAbm
You can keep me pinned, it’s easier to tease
F#mAm
But you can't paint an elephant quite as good as she
[Chorus]
EAbF#mAm
And she may cry_____ like a baby. And she may dri____ve me cra____zy
EAF#mB
Cause I____ am lately… Lo____nely
[Verse]
EAbm
So why’d you have to lie? I take it I'm your crotch
F#mAm
The pillow in your pillow case is easier to touch
EAbm
And then you think you've sinned, as you fall upon your knees
F#mAm
Living in your picture, still forget the breeze
[Chorus]
EAb
And she may rise if I sing you down
F#mAm
And she may wisely cling to the ground
EAF#mB
Cause I_____ am lately ho_____rny
EAF#mB
So why___ would she take me ho____rny?
[Middle 8]
F#mAm
What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
F#mB
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
F#mB
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you I could be strong
C#m / / / / / B
Tell me if you want me to lie
[Verse]
EAbm
'Cause this has got to die, this has got to stop
F#mAm
This has got to lie down, down with someone else on top
EAbm
You can both keep me pinned, ‘cause it's easier to tease
F#mAm
But you can't make me happy quite as good as me
Well you know that’s a lie
You can use these versions of the chords or the normal way.

...said sadly From The Bullet With Butterfly Wings single. Great song!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you haven't heard this one, GET IT! James sings and
written by: plays acoustic and slide, D'arcy on Bass, Kerry on Drums,
James Iha and Nina Gordon steps in from fellow Chicago band, Veruca
tabbed by: Salt... Good Song.
Davey B./Toast
Soo.. Git your acoustic out, and git yer friend a slide and go to it!
Tuning: 1/2 step down
(tab is represented as normal tuning...)
-- v's and ^'s are picking direction (v's=down towards ground)
-- If there big gaps in the tab where you know he's strumming, yes I know
he's strumming. I just thought it would look bad and consume time.

I'll stop tabbing the slide, thank you. I can't hear it too well, and if
anyone else wants to do it, Great!

Lover, can't find you, and noone knows what brings us here.
A few measures of G chords end the song...
And, yes, improvise for what I purposely left out, like go crazy with a
solo with the slide during the song. It's easy to find a solo in this happy
little melody...
Thanks go out to Brian McCall for setting me straight on Obscured. Somehow,
I do think that Billy managed to keep normal tuning...

Then it goes back to the verse riff simile, but changes on
the last bar before it changes to this

Back into the "lover.." bit.
In the middle there somewhere it drops down to that B type chord,
(x2003x) but then drops straight back to the G
Then the "Now you know.." bit as above.
Then until the end it alternates netween those two G's.
(3x0003) amd (320003)
The little run thing is something like this.

That is pretty much it...now, I see this as a fairly complete
tab except for those lead bits...but most of it is here!!
Please send me comments. This wasn't a simple tab because of
all the slight variations that I had to tab, so it took me awhile.
I hope you appreciate it :)
