Mrs Jones Tab

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             Mrs. Jones by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
From 1991's 'Pretty on the Inside'. This is a frenzied monster of a song, some of Hole's
craziest and most abstract and violent work to date. It's all power chords and slamming
a few open notes, so it's pretty simple if you can get the rhythm and keep up with the
speed. All the tabs on here for this song are incomplete and messy, so
I've done some homework on it. The main riff is a total rip-off of "Dark
Entries" by Bauhaus (Courtney has admitted it herself).

    Sorry man, sorry, sorry, I've got a bad eye
    I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have looked at it
    I, I shouldn't have looked at it
    Go, go away, go away, on the sugar star
    The sugar star and the abortionist and hey,
    You want her on the bed
    With her legs wide open, her eyes all spread

    Sorry man, I've got a gut, slit me
    Fucking ran away with my abortionist
    My little red-eyed, black demonologist
    The knife they used to, to gut my face in
    Has been out stabbing baby, baby angels in
    Smile, smile

    Sister ectoplasma, she's incredulous
    Just like a pro, she takes off her dress
    And she kicks you down in her snow-white pumps
    And just remember, it was me who found the lump
    Can I, can I, can I?
 
    "Shit! Shit!"
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
    "Shit! Shit!"
 
    East is east and west is west
    And mine was you and mine was the best
    And you are east and west is west
    And mine was you and mine was
    Mine was whole, Mrs. Jones
    Breathe...
 
    "I really, don't ask me again
    Don't ever talk to me like that again"
