Treat me like dirt - Patti Rothberg
>From the album `between the 1 and the 9'

Comments, suggestions, additions etcetera, everything is welcome!
I think Patti plays a 12 string acouistic guitar in this song, but I'm not
sure. The tab is for a regular six-string, though.
First I describe the 3 pieces which you play during the song. With Fig 1, I
describe the way I think it is played in the intro. The bend is just about 1/4
note up. During the verses, make some variations on this figure. Fig 2 speaks
for itself. In Fig 3, replace the A-chord sometimes by an Asus4 (x02230)
Here are the figures:

INTRO
play Fig 1 8 times (drums come in the 5th time around)
VERSE 1
(w/Fig 1) You stay away from me, because you
know I'm good for you and you are
masochistic too. The reason
I want you so much is cuz I
(w/Fig 2) know you're no good for me so to-
gether we are perfect dontcha
(w/Fig 1) see?
VERSE 2
(w/Fig 1) I'm the one you want. When you're so
close I try to flaunt it, but you
pretend not to notice. Yet I
know you're being bogus. When you
(w/Fig 2) flirt with other women and I
know I could be swimming in your
(w/Fig 1) sea.
PRE-CHORUS
(w/Fig 3) I could be so jealous of someone like me
someone's got it all yet they just don't see
I shut out acceptance so I won't get hurt
and move one to the next one who will
CHORUS
(w/Fig 1) Treat me like dirt
Treat me like dirt
Treat me like dirt
VERSE 3
(w/Fig1) Standing at the threshold of an-
other bad obsession, yeah too
bad it's with a person who could
never treat me worse then how the
(w/Fig 2) way you treated me when I was
staring at the backside of your
(w/Fig 1) neck.
VERSE 4
(w/Fig1) I was hoping soon you'd turn a-
round and look me over, up and
down my heart was racing, cuz I
know I couldn't face you after
(w/Fig 2) giving you my heart and soul and
giving you the body of my
(w/Fig 1) mind.
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
VERSE 5
(w/Fig1) If I had a dollar every
minute every hour that I
spent obsessing madly how you
treated me so badly and how
(w/Fig 2) badly that I wanted you the
night you left me outside in the
(w/Fig 1) cold.
VERSE 6
(w/Fig1) But the thing that really gets me is the
way you walk right past me. Yes you're
talking to some other and pre-
tending she's your lover just to
(w/Fig 2) get me turning green inside like
being seen with me would be a
(w/Fig 1) crime
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
VERSE 7
(w/Fig1) 4:30 in the morning, picking
up the phone I'm yournin just a-
wakened at that minute from a
dream that had U in it. I can
(w/Fig 2) still hear you're sweet talking but the
next day U'd be walking out on
(w/Fig 1) me.
VERSE 8
(w/Fig1) Some day soon I know it, maybe
in december snow, I'm gonna
get you all alone and take you
to a place I've shown to no one
(w/Fig 2) else in this great world - yes the
place where you will see me as your
(w/Fig 1) girl.
