Gravel

Song

from Little Plastic Castle

by Ani Difranco

Tuning: Bass

Verse 1:

The bass plays on the drum beats.

G-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A--------------------2-----3--------------------------------------|
E-------------5---------------------------------------------------|

"I heard the sound of your bike...etc"

Chorus:

G------------------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-1--1-1--3-0-3-5--5-5--3--3-3-0----1-----1-1--3-0--3---5--5-5-----|

You came crawling back to say that you wanna make good

G----------------------------2--2-2--------------------------------------|
D---------2--3--3-3--5--2-5----------5-5-5--2-3--------------------------|
A-3--3--5----------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------3----------|

in the end oh oh let me count the ways that abhor you

the second verse of the chorus is basically the same with a few

variations that you can fool with yourself but the one worth noting is:

G----------------------------|
D-----------------3----------|
A-----2----3--5--------------|
E-5--------------------------|

oh what can i say.... (i adore you)

Now the part below comes directly after the first chorus and it is fast.

the part where she says 'oh oh oh oh' etc:

G-------------------------|
D-------------------------|
A--3--3---------3---------|
E-5--5---0-3-5-5-5-3------|

Verse 2 is like verse one with variations near the end and the second

chorus is again, alike with very minor variations that you can even

ignore BUT verse 3 goes:

G----------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------|
A-----2--3----------3--------------------|
E--5---------0-3-5-5--5-3----------------|

this continues till the very end. it is actually a combination of

the verse figures and the 'oh oh' figure (for lack of a better name)

note: i prefer playing 5's to 0's but you can just as well substitute if

it makes your paying easier and still sound ok without too much ringing.
