R. Stevie Moore Chord and Tab

[Pulled straight from the sheet music in the lyrics section.]

There’s a

Bb

girl over there, sitting up in the

Bb7

chair.

Eb

I would not be caring if she didn’t keep on staring at me

Fm

hair. Here she

Bb

comes, walking fast, with her head in a

Bb7

cast.

Eb

I should be excited but I’m not all that delighted with her.

F

She don’t know what to

C

do with herself,

G

she don’t know how to

C

see.

G

She is boring and

C

talks to herself.

F

She don’t know a thing a-

Bb

-bout me.

(REPEAT with new lyrics)

F

All she needs is a boy who can show her the

C

ropes. I

Eb

hope.

I wish that I could take credit for this but it was hidden in the lyrics index. I just thought I’d move it to where everyone could see it.

Standard tuning

Intro Riff

D——————5———-6——7———

A—-3—5—6——6—5——4————-

then C   Bb

not sure exactly about the second riff… the steps are correct not sure exactly where to start… my guitar’s a little out of tune and I’m not listening to the song…

B———————————————14———————————

G——11—11—13—-13/15—15———-13—-15\13—-11——

may need to play those notes a half step lower or higher… but I think that is correct. Repeat as needed.

Verse chords… G    Bminor   Eminor   F (there’s a riff on the F. I’ve only kinda figured out the first part.) G   Bminor   Dminor   C    Cminor     Bb    Dminor    walk down to G and back up to Dminor  (I think the walking part is close to… Dminor A Ab G

G Ab Dminor… I think… that’s pretty much what I have so far. Please feel free to correct mistakes and add in holes.

Standard Tuning

listen to the CD for rhythm.

slide between C#/Db and D.. G A (that’s the main riff) x3 on the forth time repeat the C#toD then G (octave higher) E (7th fret)

Then for the verse   A   G   C  repeat as needed then do the same thing on B   A   D  (<— spells Bad as in BadA$$) that’s basically it. Just listen to the CD and play along. Pretty simple.
