It ll be easier to play if you transpose so that the first chord is Dm (i.e., the key of C). Otherwise it s
all barre/power chords, but perhaps you are cool with that.
The G#m (or whatever chord is shown at the end of the first line if you have transposed) is an optional
transition chord. You can ignore it completely. If you choose to play it, it gets one beat, the fourth beat.
Listen to the recording.
On the 1 chord, (here, E by default, or C if you transpose to C major), you can do the little melodic line
that Thao does if you hold the chord and play the 6th, the 8th, the 6th, the 5th, the 3rd.
[Intro]
Beat my brow
Beat my chest
Beat the ones who love me the best
Oh how could they be liars?
They assure me health, life, and fire
Who who-ooh hoooo
Who who-ooh hoooo
N.C.
Oh no!
[Verse 1]
How can you stand it
When I run, when I run like a bandit
I wear him like a habit
In the lining of my jacket
N.C
And oh my gun...powder
And an emergency
I must battle without her
She is surely killing me
[Chorus]
Who who-ooh hooo
Who who-ooh hooo
[Bridge]
So you re never gonna leave
And I m never gonna leave
But I m proud to say I ve got us beat
And I m never gonna leave
And you re never gonna leave
But you re never gonna love me like I need
[Chorus]
Who who-ooh hooo
Who who-ooh hooo
Who who-ooh hooo
Who who-ooh hooo
