But the interesting thing in her music is how she plays the chords. I tried to work these details out, but I guess I didn't really succeed, 'cause it's hard to hear how many strings she plays. Playing the song like this with the band it sounded quite identically, but there was something missing and i had to notice that when you play such easy things like this song, you need lots of feeling to sound good. When Peej plays her simple things it just sounds fantastic, 'cause she got more feeling than just anybody.

So here is the first of a few I've currently done: Sheila-Na-Gig! Sheila-Na-Gig By Polly Jane Harvey (As interpreted by Sean Hennessey) Chords: F#, A, D, C Firstly, it opens with this riff: e----O-----O-------------------------| b--b\3--1-----1vPvO--O--O--O---------| g-----------------------------2---O--| d------------------------------------| a------------------------------------| E------------------------------------| In which the b\ is a slight blues bend (not pitch spec.) and the P is a pull off. Then it's: (first 2 line with out any chords) I've been trying to show you Over and over F# A Look at these my F# A Child bear- ing hips F# A Look at these my F# A Ruby red ru- by lips F# A Look at these my F# A Work strong arms and F# A Youv'e got to see my F# A Bottleful of charms F# A Lay it all F# A At your feet, you F# A Turn around and say F# A Back to me She said F# A Sheila-na-g- ig F# A Sheila-na-g- i-ig F# A You ex-a- F# A bitionist Sheila-na-gig Sheila-na-gig You exibitionist (Rep: Sheila bit 2 times then:) D A C Put Money in your idle hole and: F# A He said Wash your face F# A I don't want to be unclean F# A He said Please take your F# A Dirty pillows away from me There you go, the rest follow the same pattern... F# and A rule the song! Tara friends, Sean Hennessey
