SONG TITLE: Prove My Love
ARTIST/GROUP: Violent Femmes
ALBUM: Violent Femmes
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk
**********************************************************************
CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE
A (x02220)
D (xx0232)
E (022100)
One thing you need to know about the verses. You don't really
play the A chord, you just strum percussively over the muted
strings and then when the D chord comes you strum it like crazy.
Listen to it to understand what I mean.
INTRO:
------
First drums, then comes bass that plays this:
(A) / = slide up
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|--5------5--5------5----5----3/4/5-|
VERSE 1:
--------
(A)
Just last night I was reminded of
just how bad it had gotten and
D
just how sick I have become
(A)
But it could change with this relationship
De-deranged, we've all been through some shit
D
If we think, I think this thing's begun
CHORUS:
-------
D
Oh tell me now
A E D
(What do I have to do) Oh tell me now
A E D
(What do I have to do) Oh tell me now
A E D
(What do I have to do) Oooh,
A D E
Prove my love to you
VERSE 2: [play same as VERSE 1]
--------
Special favors come in thirty-one flavours
We're out of mints, pass the lifesavers
I'm dropping hints, candy for candy coated tongue
You've been so good, so very good for me
What do you think, tell me honestly
I'm wait wait wait, wait wait waiting for your call
CHORUS: [play same as first CHORUS]
-------
Oh tell me now
(What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
(What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
(What do I have to do) Yeah
Prove my love to you
GUITAR-SOLO:
------------
This solo is really just chords. Mainly variations of
an A chord.

VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
--------
Just last night I was reminded of
just how bad it had gotten and

De-deranged, we've all been through some shit
