The B-52s - "Give Me Back My Man," Track 4 from "Wild Planet," 1980.
Tuning (low to high:)
DAD BB (or DADxBB) in 445 HZ (slightly sharper than the standard of 440 HZ.)
"x" shows that there's no G string in Ricky's tuning.
(yes, if you're unfamiliar, this is how Ricky normally played; with string omission tunings.)
You could play this in Drop D just as easily, I just tabbed it this
way for the best accuracy to the character of early B-52s.
This Album Version has 2 guitar tracks, but the primary guitar is tabbed
as Guitar 1, and the second occasional studio tracks are Guitar 2.
Lyrics will be in quotation marks underneath the tab sections
(and in-between tab sections when there are 2 guitar parts,)
"like this."
Notes about individual tab sections (if any) will be
in round brackets that are under tab sections,
(like this.)

Above Chart:
0:00 0:03 = Time Marks that show when parts are played.
In Chart:
* = Mute the string or strings.
x (lower case) = Play a muted string or strings. If these surround a note or notes, then
play the muted notes in those fretting positions.
h = Hammer on.
() = When round brackets surround a note or notes, those may be played or they may be omitted.
> = At the end of some chart sections. This means to play the note in the next chart.
Below Chart:
^ = Down strum.
V = Up strum.

[Guitar Tone Recommendations:]
==============================
Guitar Likely Used:
Ricky's 1972 - 1974 Mosrite V-I model in Sunburst with a Sunburst Headstock.
(it's more or less a Ventures model, but it's a year-specific name for that version that
does not have any endorsement from The Ventures.)
While a Mosrite Guitar is not a common or cheap instrument now, a guitar that gets close in tone
is a Hallmark 65 Custom. Those cost about $1,000 new, with a hard case included.
Guitar String Gauges Likely Used:
.054, .046, .036, empty, .018p, .018p.
Guitar Pick:
1mm or 1.14mm (Ricky used thick picks.)
Guitar Amplifier:
Fender Twin Reverb or Mesa Boogie Mark II
Guitar Amp Settings:
Unknown, but it seems like Low Bass, Mids on Medium or slightly over, and Treble close to the same level.
I own a Mosrite, and I tend to use amp settings with my Fender Hot Rod DeVille that are similar;
Treble 7 or 8, Mids 7 or 8, Bass Off. But at the same time, that's assuming the volume is low.

[Lyrics:]
=========
"She cuts her hair,
and calls his name
wishing everything could be the same
like when she had him.
I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you
everything I have in my hand.
Walkin' out of Korvette's,
Package in her hand.
Motion to all the seabirds,
Throw Divinity on the sands.
I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you
everything I have in my hand.
Give me back my man,
Give me back my man.
Head's in a whirlpool,
Spinnin' round and round.
If she don't get her man back, she's gonna drown.
I'll give you fish (Watch that motorboat)
Where's that man (She's in the motorboat)
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you
everything I have in my hand.
(Her man's at the bottom of, give her back her man)
Give her, give back her man (I'll give you fish, I'll give you candy)
(I'll give you everything I have in my hand) Oh oh, woah, oh, oh
I'll give you fish (Oh)
I'll give you candy (Oh, woah, oh, oh)
I'll give you everything I have in my hand (Oh, oh woah, oh, oh, woah)
[Chorus]
I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you everything I have in my hand.

[Lyric Trivia:]
===============
"Korvette's" was a department store.
"Divinity" is a type of candy that's made of Sugar and Egg Whites.
