Bbm7        Fm7
Bbm7        Fm7   Em7
Ebm7        Ab
Ebm7        Ab    A


Bbm7                       Fm7
I'm so sick of sucking the dick of this cruel, cruel city
Bbm7                            Fm7
I've forgotten what it takes to please a woman
    Em7    Ebm7                                  Ab
But that's all going to change (Oh, all going to change)
                   Ebm7                                  Ab      A
Yeah, yeah, that's all going to change (Oh, all going to change)

Bbm7                           Fm7
Now the freaks want to take me home to see
                                          Bbm7
If the rumors are true (If the rumors are true!)
                             Fm7
So I kick open the doors and windows
To let the world hear
Em7           Ebm7
Sure, there's so much anger and pain
Bbm7                                        Ebm7
But come and see, there's still some gentle people
                       Gdim
Fucking to "Strawberry Letter 23"

 Gb                Abm6
(Bitch) Now, we're both laughing
 Gb                 Db
(Bitch) Yeah, we're both laughing
 Gb                 Abm6
(Bitch) Yeah, we're both laughing
 Gb                 Db
(Bitch) Yeah, we're both laughing

Abm                               Gb
Maybe I blow you whatever kind of kisses you want
               D
Because you've got so much in common
        Ebm
With my peacock creator

Bbm7               Fm7
We function on the lowest human level
Bbm7                   Fm7    Em7
But still somehow keep living
  Ebm7
I thought it was over
                           Ab
But it all still hurts the same (All hurts the same)
         Ebm7                          Ab
It still hurts the same (All hurts the same)

Bbm
I only photograph my fascinations
Until the stress of the flash, makes them fade
The danger is real, but I'm mute to the feeling
We started by giving each other interesting sobriquets

Seduce the dream back to the surface
Never find my empty elephant of some beautiful death
It's time to get to know the article that you'll be stripping
Ladies of the spread
You better keep my secrets
In that perfume poodle head
Now it's so . . . come on . . . come on
To the replacement Dong Fang she retrieved
From the bottom of the hotel pool

The lion leaked out of his pendant, and then
   Ebm                                   Bbm
We talked about "Valerie and Her Week of Wonders"

Fm         Bbm
Oh oh oh oh


E - V - I - L
She loves to eat beautiful things

Am

Dm      Em

Dm      Em

Am
Feeling voices again, not good
                                      Dm
Look, the sky is pregnant with maggots
                         Em
Cause something happened in the parking lot

Am                    G
I'm searching for the context
               F
Not finding it
                       C
Don't make it real for me
                Bb             Am
Some things are better left victims

Part 2:(2:12)
There are lots of different sounds in this section that are very difficult
to distinguish. There are a few patterns that repeat over the Bbm, then
change for the Ebm and Fm.

Keyboard 1
  Bbm pattern       Ebm pattern      Fm pattern
e|--------------| |--------------| |----------------|
b|--------------| |--------------| |----------------|
g|--------------| |--7h8-7h8-6---| |---9h109h10-8---|
d|--7h8-7h8-6---| |-8------------| |-10-------------|
a|-8------------| |--------------| |----------------|
e|--------------| |--------------| |----------------|

Guitar
The guitar seems to alternate rather randomly between a few groups of notes
that I've tabbed out here.
   Bbm          Ebm           Fm
e|----------| |-6-6-4-6---| |-8-8-8-8---|
b|-6-7-6----| |-6-7-6-----| |-6-7-9-----|
g|-6-6-5-5--| |-------8---| |-------8---|
d|-------7--| |-----------| |-----------|
a|----------| |-----------| |-----------|
e|----------| |-----------| |-----------|


Bbm pattern for a long time
Ebm pattern twice
Bbm pattern twice
Fm pattern twice
Bbm pattern a few more times.


Part 3:(3:50)
As far as I can tell, the strings part consists of some violins fading in
and out and overlapping each other. It's a bit difficult to make it sound
like the record.

Strings
   Am           Am           Dm            Em
e|------5-----4-------5----4-5---------------3-------|
b|-5----6-------5-----6------6---------------5-------|
g|-5----5-------5-----5------7---------------4-------|
d|-7------------7------------------------------------|
a|---------------------------------------------------|
e|---------------------------------------------------|
Repeat this for the whole section.
