HARVEY P J - "rid of me" Tablature

Official HARVEY P J Tablature & Sheet Music »

Hi,

Here's another PJ Harvey tab, as compiled by Sean:

Rid of Me (from the album Rid of Me)

The chords are A, F and G, and it's really easy apart from the timing of the
opening bit, which goes:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
A A . A A A . A . A . A A A . A

(Hint: play them all with down strokes, and hit the strings in a steady, eighth
note pulse. Use your left hand to sound the chords, ie: fret the chord on the
parts where the chord sounds, mute the strings on all the rest (the `.' bits).

So...

A (the riff above)
Tie yourself to me and no one else yeah,

F A F A
You're not rid of me Yeah, you're not rid of me

A
Night and day I breathe Ho-hot Ai-air

F A F A

A
(the falsetto bit:) Lick my legs, I'm on fire, lick my legs, of desire

A
'Till you say:

F A
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

F A
Don't you wish that you'd never_never met her, don't you -


And so on... (the falsetto bit comes back in after 2 or so repeates, under the
`Don't you' bits, repeat 'till you're blue inna face)

Enjoy...

Tara,
Sean
