I transcribed this song of my favourite artist Peej 'cause nearly
anything that you can download from Peej is just the chords of the
song, which isn't much, 'cause she just plays 5 chords in this song, and
in others even less. 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,

Hello,

Оn 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----О-----О-------------------------|
b--b3--1-----1vРvО--О--О--О---------|
g-----------------------------2---О--|
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

Оvеr and over

F#				A

		       Look at these my

F#				A
Child bear-		       	ing hips

F#				A
                       Look at these my

F#				A
Ruby red  ru-                   by lips

F#				A
	               Look at these my

F#				A
Work strong                    arms and

F#				A
		  Youv'e got to see my

F#				A
Bottleful 			of charms

F#				A
			    Lay it all

F#				A
At your 			feet, you

F#				A
Turn 			      around  and say

F#				A
Back to me			She said

F#				A
Sheila-na-g-			ig

F#				A
Sheila-na-g-			i-ig

F#				A
			   You ex-a-

F#				A
bitionist

Sheila-na-gig
Sheila-na-gig
You exibitionist

(Rep: Sheila bit 2 times then:)

    D             A    C
Put Money in your idle hole and:

F#		                A
He said			Wash    your face

F#                              A
I don't want to 		be unclean

F#                              A
He said			      Please take your

F#				A
Dirty pillows 		      away from me

There you go, the rest follow the same pattern...  F# and A rule the song!

Tara friends,
Sean Hennessey

Hi,

Here's another PJ Harvey tab, as compiled by Sean:

Rid of Me (from the album Rid of Me)

The chords are A, F and G, and it's really easy apart from the timing of the
opening bit, which goes:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
A A . A A A . A . A . A A A . A

(Hint: play them all with down strokes, and hit the strings in a steady, eighth
note pulse.  Use your left hand to sound the chords, ie: fret the chord on the
parts where the chord sounds, mute the strings on all the rest (the `.' bits).

So...

A (the riff above)
Tie yourself to me and no one else yeah,

F                 A                     F                 A
You're not rid of me              Yeah, you're not rid of me

A
Night and day   I breathe   Ho-hot Ai-air

F                 A                     F                 A
You're not rid of me              Yeah, you're not rid of me

      F                 A                     F                 A
Yeah, you're not rid of me              Yeah, you're not rid of me

  G    A        F  A             G     A          F  A
I beg you    My darling    Don't leave me     I'm hurting

                    A
(the falsetto bit:) Lick my legs, I'm on fire, lick my legs, of desire

A
I'll tie your legs, keep you against my chest

      F                 A                      F                  A
Yeah, you're not rid of me               Yeah, you're not rid of me

A             F                               F                   A
I'll make you lick my injuries      I'm gonna twist your head off centre

A
'Till you say:

F                         A
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

F                         A
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

F                         A
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

F                         A
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, I

G    A         F  A             G     A          F  A
Beg you     My darling    Don't leave me     I'm hurting   Be

G    A            F    A            G     A           F  A
Lonely      Above everything    But every day     I'm hurting

                A
(falsetto bit:) Lick my legs I'm on fire,  Lick my legs of desire

F                 A            F                 A
You're not rid of me     Yeah, you're not rid of me

              F             A                  F                  A
I'll make you kiss my angle face     I'm gonna turn your head off centre

A
'Till you say:

F                         A
Don't you wish that you'd never-never met her, don't you -

F                         A
Don't you wish that you'd never_never met her, don't you -


And so on...  (the falsetto bit comes back in after 2 or so repeates, under the
`Don't you' bits, repeat 'till you're blue inna face)

Enjoy...

Tara,
Sean

Hi,

Here we go with yet another PJ Harvey song, figured out from the demo version. 
Now, not so live, from their first album:

Oh My Lover
by Polly Jane Hervey (as told by her faithful scribe, Sean)


(All the following chords are open 'melodic' chords)

Amin		E			G		Amin

Amin		E			G		Amin

(No chord)      E
Oh my 	      lover


               G        Amin
Don't you know it's all right


Amin             E
    You can love her


                       G    Amin
You can love me at the same time


Amin             E
    Much to discover


                 G        Amin
I know you don't have the time but

Amin             E
         Oh my lover

                    G    Amin
Don't you know it's al---right


Amin		E			G	Amin

Amin		E			G	Amin


Oh my sweet thing
Oh my honey thighs
Give me your troubles
I'll keep them with mine

Take at you leisure
Take whatever you can find, but
Oh my sweet thing
Don't you know it's all right

         C
It's all right

         Amin
It's all   right

           C
There's no time

            E     G
So it's all riiiiiight 


(Rep. verse chords 4x)


What's that colour
Forming around your eyes
Oh my lover
Tell me that it's all right

Just another
Before you go, go away
Oh my lover
Why won't you just say my name


And it's all right
And it's all right
It's all right 
There's no tim-i-i-ime


Fin

Tara,
Sean

Hello,

Another in my chain of PJ Harvey songs, a real simple one called:


Man Sized

by Polly Jane Harvey
(as interpreted by Sean Hennessey)


This one is dead simple, with the same 3 chords running overandover again in a
weird time signature, which just changes from 6/8 to 3/8.

The chords are:  F#, E, A

And the counting goes: (play when the chord is under the count the x's mean
muted scratches)

1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6  1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6  1- 2 -3- 4- 5- 6  1- 2- 3- 4
F# F# x  F# F# x  F# F# x  F# F# x  E  E  x  E  E  x  A  A  A  x

Pretty much it, with some lyrics:

(riff x4, then hold chords until written, same pattern as above)

              F#
I'm coming up man-sized

E                A - A - A
Skinned alive

x 	 F#
I	 want to get my

E
Birth-right	A - A - A

Man-sized
I'm heading on
I (da-da-da, I can't remember this line)
Got my leather boots on

Got my girl
She's a wow
I take my turn
And take a bow

Etcetera...

Some lyrics may be a tick off, but this is from memory, y'know?
