Lyrics

Trish! Your broken heart's a piece of this

You hold it up, a vicious twist

I guess you're better than your love

You knew that, Easy as it was

Come on

Give me something special, something that I need

She makes a try, a simple lay-o

Gathered through the power sesho

So I do hear your words

Peel the skin away from my eyes

And look in She's all the things that you put away

So it's inside

They slip it in

I can hardly mix in

Without it all, your sin

Make the monkey crawl, my love

So you will let me know.

Guitar TAB

Tabbed by Johannes Gammelby

*= Palm mute the note above
~=let it ring
)=bend the note
/=slide to

Drop-D tuning but you can play it in normal tuning but my guitar was in drop-d when I started 
this song and I was too lazy to re-tune it:)

Here we go, it's fairly easy once you've played it a couple of times.

I know it's not exactly right but this should give you an idea.
Just give it a few more bashes here and there in the palm muted parts.

Play "the hardtotab part" twice
