Rattlesnakes

Here's Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes - fairly easy song. The riff

I've tabbed out is repeated during the verses and when the slide

from the B to C# occurs, make the E(022100) an E6 (022120). Also

the violin solo hasn't been tabbed, but its really easy - mess

around in the proper key and you'll find it no problem.

Opening and verse riff

I-----------------------I------------------------I D Dsus2

I------------------0----I------------------0-----I

I------2--sl---4--------I-------2--sl---4--------I

riff again, except no Dsus2

*verse*

Jodie wears a hat although it

Hasn't rained for six days

She says a girl needs a gun these days

Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes

*Chorus*

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront

She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance

*verse pattern twice*

She's less than sure if her

Heart has come to stay in san jose

And her neverborn child still haunts her

As she speeds down the freeway

As she tries her luck with the traffic police

Out of boredom more than spite

She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard

She's obvious despite herself

*Chorus again*

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront

She says all she needs is therapy yeah

All you need is, love is all you need

*Instr*

 

*verse pattern once*

Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are

Always needles in the hay

She says that a girl needs a gun these days

Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes

*chorus pattern over all lines*

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront

As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance

Her heart, heart's like crazy paving

Upside down and back to front

She says ooh, it's so hard to love

When love was your great disappointment

E D on fade with the riff thrown in when appro.
