Hiya everybody!
I was surprised to see that no one had tabbed this song out yet.
Even though I don't usually like slow piano songs, this one really
sounds so eerie, it sends chills up my back.  The vocal harmonies,
guitars, strings, and drums are all arranged so perfectly.
Anyway, onto the tab! 


--

Standard Tuning

Low to high:  E, A, D, G, B, E

Key of D

Time signature is 4/4 throughout.



Intro/verse riff played throughout: 
Piano arranged for guitar

    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +  |

E-----------17------18------17-----|
B---15-----------------------------|
G----------------------------------|
D----------------------------------|
A----------------------------------|
E----------------------------------|

This is played over and over throughout the song.


After Alanis sings "An unfortunate..... slide",
the guitars come in playing this riff throughout.
                                
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   |

E----------------------------------|
B----------3-----------3-------3---|
G------2-------2---3-------2-------|
D--0-------------------------------|
A----------------------------------|
E----------------------------------|
                      

The implied chord progression throughout the verses and choruses is this:

Verse:    D     Gm     D       D    Gm     D

Chorus:   C     G    D    Dmaj7?   D


And here's how it goes together:

D                                 Gm                             D
  Like anyone would be, I am flattered by your fascination with me

D                                       Gm                       D
  Like any hot blooded woman, I have simply wanted an object to crave

      C                  G                 D               Dmaj7?        D
But you, you're not allowed.   You're uninvited.   An unfortunate slide


The outro solo is a verse that speaks for itself without lyrics.  To try
and tab it out exactly would defeat it's whole purpose.  In other words,
just play what feels right to keep the emotion of the song! 
The entire thing is basically based around the D harmonic minor scale which
is what gives those eerie fast licks their haunting quality.  The solo starts 
on the lower frets with a lot of open-D string pedal notes and gradually works it's 
way up the fretboard towards the end.  It's hard to hear exactly what is going
on, so if you need some help on getting started, just e-mail me and I might be
able to help you.  Oh yeah, crank the distortion and get your flanger going!


Here are the lyrics: (taken from the web)

          Like anyone would be
          I am flattered by your fascination with me
          Like any hot blooded woman
          I have simply wanted an object to crave
          But you, you're not allowed
          You're uninvited
          An unfortunate slide

          It must be strangely exciting
          To watch the stoic squirm
          Must be somewhat hard telling
          To watch them burn me shepherd
          But you you're not allowed
          You're uninvited
          An unfortunate slide

          Like any uncharted territory
          I must seem greatly intriguing
          You speak of my love like
          You have experienced love like mine before
          But this is not allowed
          You're uninvited
          An unfortunate slide

          I dont think you unworthy
          I need a moment to deliberate

The implied chord progression after all the instruments kick in is simply
what chords are basically being heard throughout.  I'm not sure if the guitars
are playing any of them, but if you were to cover this song with a band, one way
you could do it is have the guitars playing the chord progression throughout the
verses.  Just use your imagination!  There are lots of ways that would work, just
play it with emotion!

If anyone has anything add, change, or debate about this tab, please email me.
I'm not 100% sure about the chord progression.  On another site someone said that
second to last chord was a Ddim, but that doesn't sound right, and the Dmaj7 is the
closest thing I could find that sounds okay.  Later!
