Hello,

Another in my chain of PJ Harvey songs, a real simple one called:


Man Sized

by Polly Jane Harvey
(as interpreted by Sean Hennessey)


This one is dead simple, with the same 3 chords running overandover again in a
weird time signature, which just changes from 6/8 to 3/8.

The chords are:  F#, E, A

And the counting goes: (play when the chord is under the count the x's mean
muted scratches)

1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6  1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6  1- 2 -3- 4- 5- 6  1- 2- 3- 4
F# F# x  F# F# x  F# F# x  F# F# x  E  E  x  E  E  x  A  A  A  x

Pretty much it, with some lyrics:

(riff x4, then hold chords until written, same pattern as above)

              F#
I'm coming up man-sized

E                A - A - A
Skinned alive

x 	 F#
I	 want to get my

E
Birth-right	A - A - A

Man-sized
I'm heading on
I (da-da-da, I can't remember this line)
Got my leather boots on

Got my girl
She's a wow
I take my turn
And take a bow

Etcetera...

Some lyrics may be a tick off, but this is from memory, y'know?

(PS the rest of the chord procedure's the same as the first...)

Tara,
Sean
