Rid of Me — PJ Harvey
Chords and lyrics for Rid of Me by PJ Harvey (key of F).
Verse 1
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)

the
`Don't you' bits, repeat 'till you're blue inna face)
