For more tabs, check my homepage: 22 Acacia Avenue - "http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/7045" p.m. = palm muting s = slide p = pull off t = tapp h = hammer on x = strumming ~ = vibrato /\/\/\ (or t-bar) = tremolo bar N.H. = natural harmonics A.H. artificial harmonics % = repeat last bar * = I use this as a wild card, ie it's different from song to song. Anyway, in this song it means that guitar two plays the same chord as guitar one but without strummming It's raining and this tab has been laying on my desk since last year, so, here we go! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verse: 4x E-|-----------------| B-|-----------------| G-|-----------------| D-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-| A-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| E-|-*---------------| (NOTE!

Beat her mistreat her do anything that you please Bite her excite her make her get down on her knees Abuse her misuse her she can take all that you've got Caress her molest her she always does what you want You're running away don't you know what you're doing Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin Charlotte you've taken your life and you've thrown it away You believe that because what you're earning Your life's good don't you know that you're hurting All the people that love you don't cast them aside All the men that are constantly drooling It's no life for you stop all that screwing You're packing your bags and you're _coming_ with me
