Babydoll by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From 1991's "Pretty on the Inside". I revised this tab, it was the first one I'd ever
written and it was not entirely organized or correct, so here you go.
There are absolutely ZERO tabs for this song on the internet, so I figured I'd give it a
shot. The song is played with heavy distortion and involves a few string bends, but
it's mostly just sliding
technique. Fairly easy to play if you can keep up with the pace.
Listen to the song to get the timing totally right.

My raw hand, my fever blister
Watch me, watch me
Watch me disappear
Here she comes, her pants undone
All waste and void
All waste and void
VERSE I:
There you go in your Nazi car
Oh babydoll, what a whore you are
VERSE II:
And you're sitting around with your old rag
How can I, how can I
Talk when you, you've got the gag?

Here you come sucking my energy and you
Suck it up baby, right off the street and a...

VERSE III:
In the dark her, I destroy what
What I began, what I destroy
She's hanging in the blossom tree
Oh, babydoll just bleeds for me

BRIDGE:
Babydoll, she's all I feel
Her chemical wedding
Her chemical peel
I knife me and I slash my
And I knife me and I slash my

Sick inside of me?
Well, here you are just as ugly as me

Drill it in my good hole so that I can see
Yeah, drill it in my good hole so that I can see

VERSE III:
She stares too long into the sun, now I
I want a cancer that the crooked eye spun
Well you, you are mine and my energy
'Cause you, you are so much bigger than me
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Little girl, she's on the floor
She gets it all 'cause she's the whore
Little girl, she's on the ground
She gets it all for falling
Falling down, falling down
And running wild

"I am, I am," she says,
"I am not free", she says
"Help me, I am withering..."
"Withering..."
Withering, withering
Hang on, you need a soul
Get yourself a soul
A soul
Until the soul comes down
