Credit in the Straight World by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From 1994's 'Live Through This'. This is actually a punk rock version of a Young Marble
Giants song, but it's an excellent cover. There are two guitars in the song and there
are some instances here where Riffs C and D overlap in the choruses, but it's not a big
deal so I tabbed it without indicating the timing for that. Listen to the song for an idea,
but you can play this with one guitar fairly easily as well. I can't say this tab is
100% correct, but it sounds damn close to me and is more complete than the ones already on
here. Play with distortion.
"x" = string mute
"/" = slide up
"\" = slide down
"b" = string bend
Tuning: Standard
(Introduction verse with organ):
And I will awake
Your highness, I'm so high I cannot walk
And I will awake
You cripple, you take away my time
My peace, my empathy
No babies sleep on atrophy
Your unborn love and fetal stress
Hard bitter candy, legless caress
