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

 

Night and day I breathe Ho-hot Ai-air

 

F A F A

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

 

F A F A

Yeah, you're not rid of me Yeah, you're not rid of me

 

G A F A G A F A

I beg you My darling Don't leave me I'm hurting

 

A

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

 

I'll tie your legs, keep you against my chest

 

F A F A

Yeah, you're not rid of me Yeah, you're not rid of me

 

A F F A

I'll make you lick my injuries I'm gonna twist your head off centre

 

'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 -

 

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, I

 

G A F A G A F A

Beg you My darling Don't leave me I'm hurting Be

 

G A F A G A F A

Lonely Above everything But every day I'm hurting

 

A

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

 

F A F A

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

 

F A F A

I'll make you kiss my angle face I'm gonna turn your head off centre

 

'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...
