Violet Tab

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Violet by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Classic opening track from 'Live Through This' (1994). This tab is based off of
the album version, and I've tabbed/notated both Eric
and Courtney's guitar pieces here and when and where to play them. There are some layers
going on in the song, so I did my best to replicate that with the lead and rhythm pieces.
 
Tabbed by: Scott H.
 
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)

         And the sky was made of amethyst
         And all the stars are just like little fish
         You should learn when to go
         You should learn how to say "no"

         When they get what they want
         They never want it again
         And they get what they want
         And they never want it again
 
         Go on, take everything
         Take everything, I want you to
         Go on, take everything
         Take everything, I want you to
 
Verse
 
         And the sky was all violet
         I want it again but violent, more violent
         Yeah, I'm the one with no soul
         One above and one below

         Go on, take everything
         Take everything, I want you to
         Go on, take everything
         Take everything, I dare you to
 
         I told you from the start
         Just how this would end
         When I get what I want
         I never want it again
