SOFTER, SOFTEST by Hole
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Low key ballad track from 1994's Live Through This. It builds to a crescendo and uses
some standard chords and selective strumming on individual strings. The album version is
hard to pin down because there's a lot going on between the two guitars and the bass,
but if you play it this way it sounds pretty damn close. None of the tabs on here seem very
accurate so I figured I'd give my two cents.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
Played clean except where noted

Pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me mind
Your milk is so sour
And I can only cry
And I can only cower
And I can only cry
You have all the power
Verse
I've got a blister from touching everything I see
The abyss opens up, it steals everything from me
Chorus
Pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me mind
Your milk is so sick
Your milk has a dye
Your milk has a dick
Your milk has a dye
Your milk has a dick

**Note: On "bring me back her head", play G with distortion
Burn the witch
The witch is dead
Burn the witch
Just bring me back her head
Chorus
Pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me mind
Your milk is so mean
Your milk turns to cry
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cry
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cry
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to mine
Your milk turns to cream
