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

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

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

F A F A
Yeah, you’re not rid of me Yeah, you’re not rid of me

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
