Hands Clean

Alanis Morissette
Tab
4.9(48)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Cadd9 (drums) Dsus2 D/B Cadd9

If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and if

Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9

If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much

You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me

Cadd9 Dsus2

You're kind of my protégé
