TCS Guitar Tabs: "The Therapist"

by Jonathan Wong


Capo 1st fret. I will denote everything 1 half-step below its true pitch,
so you can pretend the capo is the nut.

On E7 (open base), 2nd string must be at 3rd fret.
* = barred, but note that some chords (like C) are barred at different
    places throughout the song.

G D C* E7*
           "You look after your body, & your body looks after you."

C G C G C G D
G                       E7                  D            C*
 He said around these parts, as he laid a hand upon a theigh,
G                     E7                    Am*
"Life's so dull and low that you've gotta try
      D*
Harder to get higher." I'm
G           D                   Am         D
Nude in the firing line with my blindfold, arms behind.
       G          D                    Am        D          G
If you shoot, aim for the leg and I'll teach you how to beg me.
                E7            D            C*
Get the sweetest sensations when I'm powerless
G                             E7             Am*
 Despite myself there're times when I have felt
        Am
Not in the mood for any of this
C       G          C               G             D
  These Scots west-coast delta blues give me the hump..
G            D                   Am         D
Stood in the firing line with my blindfold, arms behind.
       G        D              Am     C                         G
If you shoot me in the leg I'll..I'll teach you how to fake prescriptions.
C                G     C         G              D
  Look below the slabs, and underneath the crabs
                               :G    D   C   D:  G
My therapist with the rapist's heart

D   C  Am*  C      G          C               G             C
             These Scots west-coast delta blues give me the hump-
       G           D                      :G  D  C  D:
backed bells of Hell..so shut up, time is up.

By-bye, see ya later on..             1-2-3, waekin up

                          4-5-6, waekin up,

      7-8, open yer ayes
                             9-10, wayde aweik, wayde aweik.......

____________________
OK.... there ya go. The C-G-C-G parts are kind of hard to hear.. the
changes are a bit subtle. And the break near the end I'm a little
unsure about..like which should be Am and which should be C..
Anyway, please tell me what you think. I hope someone can correct me
on the hazy parts..
