* denotes power chord
The chord I called BaddF# is a (partially) barred B major played with the F# on the high
string (9th fret). It looks like this:
E--9-------------|
B--7-------------|
G--8-------------|
D--9-------------|
A----------------|
E----------------|
Strum that chord very slowly, accenting the F#. Watch the timing on some of the
it can be tricky. Please rate!
"Odalisque"
D#m G# B BaddF#
They've come to find you, Odalisque
D#m G# B BaddF#
As the light dies horribly
A#m A#m D#m G#
On a fire escape you walk
A#m A#m D#m G# B BaddF#
All rare and resolved to drop
D#m G# B BaddF#
D#m G# B BaddF#
And when they find you, Odalisque
D#m G# B BaddF#
They will rend you, terribly
A#m A#m D#m G#
Stitch from stitch 'til all
A#m A#m D#m G# B BaddF#
Your linen limbs will fall
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* x2
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* B B
Lazy lady had a baby girl
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* G#* B* C#*
And a sweet it made
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* B B
Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* G#* B* C#*
In a railroad cul-de-sac
C# D#
And what do we do with ten baby shoes
B C#m
A kit bag full of marbles and a broken billiard cue?
B
What do we do?
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* x2
What do we do?
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* B B
Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* G#* B* C#*
And them rip them down again
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* B B
Sapling switches will rend those rags alright
G#* G#* G#* B* C#* / G#* G#* G#* B* C#*
What a sweet sound it makes
C# D#
And what we do with ten dirty Jews
B C#m
A thirty-ought full of rock salt and a warm afternoon?
B
What do we do?
A#*
What do we do?
A#*
Lay your belly under mine
A#* B A#*
Naked under me, under me
A#*
Such a filthy dimming shine
A#* B A#*
The way you kick and scream, kick and scream
A#* A#/A* A#*
A#* A#/A* G#* A#*
C# D#
And what do we with ten baby shoes
B C#m
A kit bag full of marbles and broken billiard cue?

What do we do?
