Dm        F    Dm
You can't hold me
Dm      C     Dm
I'm too slippery
 
Dm       F   Dm
I do no sleepin'
Dm    C   Dm
I get lonely
 
Dm      F     G
you can touch me
 G      C   Dm
if you want to
 
Dm    F  Dm
I got poison
Dm      C     Dm
I just might bite you
 
 
Dm        F    Dm
Lie in circles
Dm      C     Dm
on the sunlight
Dm       F   Dm
shine like diamonds
Dm    C   Dm
on a dark night
Dm      F     G
ain't no mercy
G      C   Dm
in my smilin'
Dm    F  Dm
only fangs and
Dm      C     Dm
sweet beguiling
 
 
Dm        F    Dm
Future, he don't
Dm      C     Dm
try to find me
Dm       F   Dm
skin I been through
Dm    C   Dm
dies behind me
Dm      F     G
solid hollow
G      C   Dm
wrapped in hatred
not a drop of
venom wasted
 
 
Dm        F    Dm
You can slip in
Dm      C     Dm
try to find me
Dm       F   Dm
hold your breath and
Dm    C   Dm
flat deny me
Dm      F     G
it makes no difference
G      C   Dm
to my thinkin'
Dm    F  Dm
I'll be here when
Dm      C     Dm
you start sinkin'
 
 
 
I found it convenient to play with a capo in the 5th fret so I actually play Am C Am Am   G Am and
so on. In the beginning of a line I strum the empty strings and then 'hammer on' the three fingers
for the Am. The Fs and Cs are quickly sqeezed in between the other chords. It's hard to say how
really to play it, it has to be felt (that's what I tell my band members on every occasion..). It
should by avoided to play the high strings, at least not too often or too loud, especially at the Cs
and Fs (This also makes it easier for the left hand). In between the verses I play a line of bass
notes:
D F B(hammer on->)C E D (maybe ...F D).
 
I also would like to add the bass line introducing 'Fare thee well Miss Carousel'.
Probably invented by the bass player but I like it very much.
B E / (E) F# G# / G# A G# F#/ F# G# E -> E-chord.
Maybe the last bar is just f# f# f#.
And never ask me for a correct notation of the rhythm... RF
