But the interesting thing in her music is how she plays the chords. I tried to work these details out, but I guess I didn't really succeed, 'cause it's hard to hear how many strings she plays. Playing the song like this with the band it sounded quite identically, but there was something missing and i had to notice that when you play such easy things like this song, you need lots of feeling to sound good. When Peej plays her simple things it just sounds fantastic, 'cause she got more feeling than just anybody. If you have some changes or additions or just something to say about PJ, her person, her work, this song and especially about this transcription, email to kamberl@ezinfo.vmsmail.ethz.ch Beat is 63 Intro, slyihgtly distorted e:1---------------1-----1--------------------| B:4-(bend-just-a-----1-----1-1--1--1---------| G:--little-bit-and--------------------3--1---| D:--release)---------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------| Part I, clean e:-------------------------------|-------------------| B:-------------------------------|-another-5-times---| G:-------------------------------|-Part-I------------| D:-------------------------------|-------------------| A:------3---------------6--------|-------------------| E:--1---1---X-X-X--4-4--4---X-X--|-------------------| slide up slide down e:------------------------------------| B:------------------------------------| G:------------------------------------| D:-----3------------6---repeat-this---| A:-----3------------6---another-time--| E:--1--1--X-X-X--4--4-----------------| X X e:---------------------------------------------| B:---------------------------------------------| G:---------------------------------------------| D:----3-----------6--6-----------repeat-this---| A:-3--3-----------6--6-----------another-time--| E:-1--1--X--X--X--4--4-----1--1----------------| Offbeat e:---------------------------------------------|------------| B:---------------------------------------------|--1-1--4-4--| G:---------------------------------------------|--2-2--5-5--| D:-----3-----------6--6----6--6---repeat-this--|--3-3--6-6--| A:--3--3-----------6--6----6--6---another-time-|--3-3--6-6--| E:--1--1--X--X--X--4--4----4--4----------------|------------| Offbeat Part II, slightly distorted e:------------------------------------------------------| B:---1--1--X-X---4-4-4-4-4---4---4------repeat-this-----| G:---2--2--X-X---5-5-5-5-5---5---5------Part-7-times----| D:---3--3--X-X---6-6-6-6-6---6---6----------------------| A:---3--3--X-X---6-6-6-6-6---6---6----------------------| E:------------------------------------------------------| Part III, clean e:-------------------------------------------|--play-Part-II--| B:-------------------------------------------|--6-timmes------| G:-x-2---------5--5--5-------repeat-Part-III-|----------------| D:-3-3---------6--6--6-------7-times---------|----------------| A:-3-3---------6--6--6-----------------------|----------------| E:-1-X--X-X-X--4--4--4-X-X-------------------|----------------| Part IV, really distorted e:-------------------------------Part-II-just-2-times-(distor.)---| B:----------------------------------------------------------------| G:-------------------------------the-Part--VI-1-time-and----------| D:---8--8----5--5----8--8--10-------------------------------------| A:---8--8----5--5----8--8--10----Part-II-again-2-times-(distor.)--| E:---6--6----3--4----6--6--8--------------------------------------| e:-X-X---play-Intro-3-times--------|-'Wash-that-man-right-out--| B:-X-X------------------------2----|--of-my-hair'--------------| G:----------------------------2----|---------------------------| D:---------------------------------|--2-timesno-guitar---------| A:---------------------------------|---------------------------| E:---------------------------------|---------------------------| e:--play-Part-I-2-times-------------|------------------------------| B:--then-Part-III-2-times-----------|-play-Part-II-----------------| G:--then-Part-2-8-times-------------|-approx-20-times--------------| D:--then-Part-IV-without------------|-and-Guitar-2-plays-----------| A:--the-2-times-Part-II-------------|-the-Intro-from-9-to-20-------| E:--in-the-end-(just-listen-to-it)--|------------------------------| Interlude e:-1-----------------------------| B:-4-(bend)-1----repeat-this-----| G:---------------4-times---------| D:-------------------------------| A:-------------------------------| E:-------------------------------| e:------------------------------------------------| B:---Play-Part-II-heavily-distorted---------------| G:---2-times-and-Guitar-2-plays-the-----2---------| D:---Intro-2-times----------------------3---------| A:--------------------------------------3---------| E:--------------------------------------1---------| Hello, On a Friday night, after the clubs are gone, I get to thinking how someone on one of my mailing lists bemoans the lack of PJ Harvey tabs on the net. So here is the first of a few I've currently done: Sheila-Na-Gig! Sheila-Na-Gig By Polly Jane Harvey (As interpreted by Sean Hennessey) Chords: F#, A, D, C Firstly, it opens with this riff: e----O-----O-------------------------| b--b\3--1-----1vPvO--O--O--O---------| g-----------------------------2---O--| d------------------------------------| a------------------------------------| E------------------------------------| In which the b\ is a slight blues bend (not pitch spec.) and the P is a pull off. Then it's: (first 2 line with out any chords) I've been trying to show you Over and over F# A Look at these my (Rep: Sheila bit 2 times then:) Tara friends, Sean Hennessey
