SLIPPERY WHEN WET - The Acorn
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Eleanor Mehlenbacher
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
Capo 3rd fret
Done as accurately by ear as I could manage. The rhythm is a little difficult to keep in
the tab, so you'll have to listen to the song to get it exactly right. Enjoy!

This repeats throughout the song, with various hammer-ons and solos added onto it.
C Am
Panda panda climb your tree
F C
There's a life you live in spite of me
C Am
And for all the fruit that bore your seed
F C
There's a wet worm waiting by your feet
Em Am
By your feet, by your feet
F C
There's another apple you don't need
And oh, I cursed the weight of me
The heavy purse drug by your feet
And the dead-straight line that pulled you in
Got tangled in our spiral spin
In our spin, in our spin
The tangle that I left you in
And oh, the love I thought we had
A tire-tread that slips when wet
And I convinced myself of my belief
That behind each branch a fallen leaf
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves
I count the colours at my feet.
