SUPERNATURALS - "Please Be Gentle With Me" Tablature
Official SUPERNATURALS Tablature & Sheet Music »
"Food Records".
Transcribed by Gary Perkin, November 1997.
Not many words with the CD, so this is what they sound like to me.
Intro: (roughly)
------
a) Opening bass riff which continues through the intro and most of the
verse.

Verse 1: (Sung over the intro)
--------
D G D D
Please be gentle with me,
D G D D
'cos I've been on a long, hard, losing streak,
A G
And I've been down in the dumps, I've been well and truly humped,
A
And my clothes don't seem to fit,
G (DDDD D2D2D2 x 2)
and my haircuts looking shit.
NB For the "A-G" part above, use the same "G" riff from the intro, and
an "A" riff, which is exactly the same but (predictably!) up two
frets.
Verse 2: (Turn up the distortion!)
--------
D D2 Gsus4 G D D2 D D2
Please be gentle with me,
D D2 Gsus4 G D D2 D D2
yes my singing has gone flat out of key,
Asus4 A Asus4 A Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Oh I've been down in the bin, crawled back out back in again,
And my clothes don't seem to fit, and my haircuts looking...
(The Asus4/A might well be A/A2, or a combination of all three,
but with all the distortion, who can tell?!?)
Bridge:
-------
C G D C G D
I say to myself, have I been cursed?
C G D C A
Cos things are bad can they get worse? (can they get worse?)
Verse 3:
--------
D G D D
Please be gentle with me, yes my
D G D D
backside, is hanging, out in the breeze
A G
Oh I've been down in the dumps, I've been well and truly humped,
A
And my clothes don't seem to fit,
G (DDDD D2D2D2 x 2)
yes my haircuts looking shit.
