Song: From Her to Eternity Artist: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Album: From Her to Eternity Year: 1984 Tabber: [email protected] Basically the whole song is in Cm. I've decided to add the piano breaks and to write some bass lines... when it changes. I hope it helps in this messy but wild track! And... no I didn't catch Blixa's guitar parts Bass on verse: G-----------------------------------| D-----------------------------------| A--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1--| E-----------------------------------| Verse 1 (on all verses, play the bass and the piano strumms the C note) Cm I wanna tell you about a girl You know, she lives in room 29 Why that's the one right up top a mine Verse 2 Cm Oh I hear her walking Walking barefoot cross the floor-boards All through this lonesome night I hear her crying too. Hot tears come splashing down Leaking through the cracks, Down upon my face. Catch'em in my mouth! Catch'em in my mouth! Catch'em in my mouth! Ah catch'em in my mouth! Ah Walk and cry! Walk and cry! Ah Walk and cry! Ah Walk and cry!

From her to eternity! Verse 5 Cm Ah tell me why. Ah tell me why. Oh Why, why, why? O tell me why and don't tell me lie! Why the ceiling still shakes, shake, shakes, shakes! And all the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes? Verse 6 Cm This desire to possess her is a wound And it's nagging at me like a shrew But I know, that to possess her Is therefore not to desire her. Oh oh oh then ya know, that little girl Would just have to go! Go! Go!
