Martha Wainwright – BMFA (Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole) - Tabbed by Leo Barker
25/02/07
Chords:
D - XX0232 G/D - XX0797 A/D - XX09119 Em9(no 5th) - xx2032-|
G5 - 3x0033 G5(1) - 3X0032 Em9 - 022032 A -x03330---------|
This song isn’t nearly as hard as these chords would make out, but since there are so
poorly tabbed versions out there, I thought I’d throw mine into the mix which is certainly
bit more accurate.
For the D and G/D chords that open the song and are repeated throughout, you need to
the first finger onto the middle G string, listen for the timing.
So you are going from this: xx0032 ...to this: xx232. And then this:
....to this: xx0797.
The only other thing to note is that she alternates between using the G5 and the G5(1)
as I have labelled it above, so just listen for which is used where.
[Intro]
D G/D
D G/D
Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
D G/D
And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired, overfired.
D G/D
And I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke, there's no more fire
A/D
Only desire
Em9(no 5th)
For you, whoever you are
D
For you, whoever you are
[Second Verse]
D G/D
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
D G/D
That I've been messing around some sort of incubating period
D G5
For when I really come around I'm cracking up
Em9
And you have no idea
G5(1) D
No idea how it feels to be on your own
G5(1) D
In your own home with the fucking phone
G5 D
In your bedroom
G5(1)
Standing over your head
Em9 D
With her hand in your head, with her hand in your head
G5 D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
G5 A
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
G5 D
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
