Standard Tuning EADGBe An easy strummy acoustic singer/songwriter style way of performing the song in a way still true to the original recording. Intro riff: (played on the high e string) e:--6-6-6--8-8-8--4-4-5----/ Main riff during the verse: A D e |------9----------10---| e|-----------------------------| B |---10---10----10----10| B|--------14-----------15------| G |-9---------11---------| G|-----14----14-----14-----14--| D |----------------------| D|--14-----------16------------| A |----------------------| A|-----------------------------| E |----------------------| or an easier way: E|-----------------------------| or you could play it an octave lower which makes it easier to sing the lyrics over: A D e--------------------------/ B-------2------------3-----/ G-----2----2-------2---2---/ D--2------------4----------/ A--------------------------/ E--------------------------/ Verse 1:

^AMy be^Dloved ^Amonster and ^Dme ^A we go ^Deverywhere to^Agether ^D ^AWearing a r^Daincoat that ^Ahas four s^Dleeves ^Agets us ^Dthrough all kinds of^A weather ^D

Chorus 1:

^EShe will always be the ^Donly thing ^EThat comes between me and the ^Dawful sting E D (one strum) That comes from living in a world that's so damn ^Amean ^D ^A ^D

Verse 2:

^AMy be^Dloved ^Amonster is ^Dtough^A if she ^Dwants she will dis^Arobe you ^D ^ABut if you ^Dlay her do^Awn for a ki^Dss,^A her little ^Dheart it could e^Axplode ^D

Chorus 2:

^EShe will always be the ^Donly thing ^EThat comes between me and the ^Dawful sting E D (one strum) That comes from living in a world that's so damn ^Amean ^D ^A ^D

Solo: (its very fuzzed out on the record, possibly also in octave chords) e------------------------------/ B------------------------------/ G------------------16-14~------/ D----11~---12-14---------------/ A------------------------------/ E------------------------------/ Outro:

^Ala la la la ^Dla la la la la ^Ala la la la ^Dla la la la la

(till abrupt end)
