RICH GIRL
(richards/augie march)
Transcribed by Tim Byron <tpb04@uow.edu.au>
____________________

[Rich Girl uses the same guitar tuning as The Moth Ball - EADABE. To

get this tuning you need to get your G-string (put a bad joke of your

choice here) and tune it up two semi-tones, so instead of playing a G

when you pluck at the string, you play an A. Glenn strums most of the

way through. I'm mostly sure this tab is accurate, apart from the

chords in the middle 8 and outro, which are very quiet. Almost all of

the chords require the same hand positioning, which is like what you'd

use if you were playing a normal G chord.]

[intro]

4 bars of Gadd2

 

[verse 1]

Gadd2

Then I asked about your forefathers

F#mb6

Were they murderous too?

Gadd2

You said it hadn't any bearing

F#mb6

Upon the likes of me and you

Bm7

So we buried them to their neckline

Aadd4

And we kicked off all their heads

Gadd2

Funny little questions

F#mb6

That are left better never ever said

 

[verse 2]

Gadd2

So I asked about your dead mother

F#mb6

Was she beautiful too?

Gadd2

Just a little bit warmer

F#mb6

Than the likes of me and you

Bm7

Well I'm no F. Scott Fitzgerald

Aadd4

But I know a champagne birth

Gadd2

So was she light or heavy handed

F#mb6

When she delivered you your words?

 

[chorus]

Aadd4

I asked if you were lonely

Cmaj6add2

You said it didn't matter

Fadd2

These are old emotions

F#mb6

We need to bury them and leave them

Gadd2

Move onto something new

Bm7                            Aadd4

We need to bury them and leave them

                 Gadd2

Like I'm leaving you

 

[verse 3]

Gadd2

So I had to make it anybody out there

F#mb6

Writing songs about shit

Gadd2

Well I know I'm not supposed to be

F#mb6

Serious about it, but I'm serious about it

Bm7                         Aadd4

But I don't want to find no backdoor

                                 Gadd2

And I don't want to feel no other's arms

                                 F#mb6

Empty stuff comes better when I'm on my own

                           Aadd4

And I make it so I'm on my own

 

[chorus]

Aadd4

You asked me I'f I'm lonely

Cmaj6add2

I guess it doesn't matter

Fadd2

These are old emotions

F#mb6

We need to bury them and leave them...

Gadd2

From the last romantic view

F#mb6

And I go "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh"

Gadd2

You're the first sign of panic

F#mb6

Then I tremble at the sight of you

 

Bm7

All the things that fortify me

Aadd4

Are the things that petrify you

Gadd2

So you bury them and leave them

F#mb6

And I dig them up on you

 

Aadd4

I only asked if you were lonely

Cmaj6add2

And you said it didn't matter

Fadd2

These are old emotions

F#mb6

Need to bury them and leave them

Gadd2

Move onto something new

Bm7

Need to bury them and leave them

Aadd4

Leave their bodies in the backyard

Bm7                           Aadd4

Need to bury them and leave them

Like I'm leaving you
