Subject: CRD: "Divine Thing" by the Soup Dragons

Okay, this is how *I* play it.  I listened to the recording and the first
chord is ACTUALLY an E-flat (which would mean you tune down 1/2 step    ep
and start on E).  However, I figured out a really easy version that's   un
fun to play and is recognizable...

Your chords are:
(str  EADGBe)
D5    xx023x
D     xx0232
Dsus2 xx0230
Dsus4 xx0233
E     022100
G     3x0033

First, I'm gonna define what will be referred to below as "D-fill":
you play  D D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
It looks complicated if you're not familiar with the pattern, but in
reality it's pretty easy. You just either remove your middle finger fromm
the standard D chord or add your pinky on the 3rd fret of the high E.
If you're a beginner, practice it once or twice.  It really adds to the
song otherwise you'd just be droning along on the D for the chorus.     es.

"Divine Thing"
by the Soup Dragons

Intro: D5 D D D5
       D5 D D D5

D
You are the one supreme being
                E           G             D     D-fill
Just dressed to kill and fulfill just any dream
    D
And you are the one heart's desire
             E            G              D    D-fill
All hips and lips made to trick just any fool.

CHORUS:
    E            G                           D-fill
But I could have sworn that you were an angel
                E             G                  D
'Cause you're a sweet, sweet, sweet divine thing.
    E              G                           D-fill
But I should have known that you were the devil
                E             G                  D
Dressed like a sweet, sweet, sweet divine thing.

And you lack the one thing that is devotion
Not always there in your hair, in a daze.
Just too mixed up in your own emotions
Your vanity will always be your greatest thing.

(CHORUS)

(D-fills throughout outro)
Divine thing.
Divine thing.
Divine thing. (etc.)

Dat be all. 'Tis a rather simple song. I would assume it would get a bitit
more complicated if you were to play it true to the record, but why make it
hard on yourself?...
Good luck.
Paul D.
