Rid Of Me

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,

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

Night and day I breathe Ho-hot Ai-air

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

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

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

(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

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

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

'Till you say:

Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, I

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

Lonely Above everything But every day I'm hurting

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

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

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

'Till you say:

Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

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,
