Take Your Mama Out

Scissor Sisters

Text File

I usually don't tab out songs for the internet, but some of the garbage that I have
seen posted as "accurate" is too much to take. This is a chord transcripion. The chords
(especially the intro) have hammer ons between the changes but I didn't tab them here.
They are easy to hear and play.

Guitar tuned down 1/2 step Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb Chords are relative to 1/2 step tuning.
If you play this in standard, the chord make up is (Bb Ab Cm Eb)  make sure to play
all bar chords to get the accurate sound and especially play the B barred up on the
7th fret, not the second.

Intro


It's a struggle / Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer / Watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama / Heard the way that you'd been talking
I tried to tell you / That all she'd wanna do is cry


Now we end up takin' the long way home
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glasses in the garbage
And your Continental's just got towed
