Hello,
On a Friday night, after the clubs are gone, I get to thinking how someone on
one of my mailing lists bemoans the lack of PJ Harvey tabs on the net. So here
is the first of a few I’ve currently done: Sheila-Na-Gig!
Sheila-Na-Gig
By Polly Jane Harvey
(As interpreted by Sean Hennessey)
Chords: F#, A, D, C
Firstly, it opens with this riff:
e—-O——O————————-|
b—b3—1——1vPvO—O—O—O———|
g——————————2—O—|
d————————————|
a————————————|
E————————————|
In which the b is a slight blues bend (not pitch spec.) and the P is a pull
off.
Then it’s: (first 2 line with out any chords)
I’ve been trying to show you
Over and over
F# A
Look at these my
F# A
Child bear- ing hips
F# A
Look at these my
F# A
Ruby red ru- by lips
F# A
Look at these my
F# A
Work strong arms and
F# A
Youv’e got to see my
F# A
Bottleful of charms
F# A
Lay it all
F# A
At your feet, you
F# A
Turn around and say
F# A
Back to me She said
F# A
Sheila-na-g- ig
F# A
Sheila-na-g- i-ig
F# A
You ex-a-
F# A
bitionist
Sheila-na-gig
Sheila-na-gig
You exibitionist
(Rep: Sheila bit 2 times then:)
D A C
Put Money in your idle hole and:
F# A
He said Wash your face
F# A
I don’t want to be unclean
F# A
He said Please take your
F# A
Dirty pillows away from me
There you go, the rest follow the same pattern… F# and A rule the song!
Tara friends,
