I've played the tab and it sounds very right to my ears, but I can't listen to the song to confirm it, since I don't have the CD. I've made some changes on the look of the file, but no changes on transcription itself. It's all Louis Visscher's work. Thanks to him for this file and his other Alanis tabs. CHORDS: ------- EADGBE EADGBE F# (244322) F#2 (x-9-11-11-11-x) B (x24442) B2 (x-14-16-16-16-x) E (022100) A7 (57565x) A (x02220) B7 (x24242) This is my first try tabbing this GREAT song. Comments, additions, corrections, better tabs, everything is very welcome. Please mail them to me. [and qualitytabs ;)] The `+' above the tab represents the beat; `~~~' indicates the length of a sustained note (so it is not a vibrato-sign!) N.C. means 'no chord', don't play anything. Guitar 1 (overdriven) plays the chords that are indicated above the lyrics in the tab. An `x' means a scratch. Guitar 2 plays the tab. It is a clean guitar, with tremolo. Maybe the tab for guitar 2 is an octave too high, I'm not sure. OK, here we go. VERSE 1: -------- N.C. I want you to know that I'm happy for you. I wish nothing but the best for you both. | + + + + | + + + + | E|-------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|-14---------17~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---| G|-----14------------------------|-----------------------------14-| D|---------14--------------------|--------------------------------| A|-------------------------------|--------------------------------| E|-------------------------------|--------------------------------| Another version of me; Is she perverted like me?
