Album: Yourself of Someone Like You
Song: Push
Transcriber: Tony Tamburello
Corrected: 5-7-97

Well, this is my first attempt at tabbing a song for
others. I love this tune! This is mostly
rhythm guitar with the essential lead stuff thrown
in. If you need the arpeggios, using barred major
chords sounds pretty good, not perfect though.

This version contains an correction from the last--
I had the wrong strings on the little outro from
the first half of the bridge. Hope I didn't
confuse anybody.

Verse 2:
Sh' said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrustin when I think that the
truth is gonna hurt ya.
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me,
you couldn't stand to be near me.
when my face don't seem to want to shine
'cause its a little bit dirty.

Pre-chorus 2:
Well, don't just stand there sayin nice things to me,
cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged.
You, you don't know me; yeah well I can't change
I won't do anything at all.

-->to chorus

Bridge: strummed

Oh but don't bowl me over, just wait a minute... it kinda fell apart.
