Song

Artist: P.J.Harvey
Song: Sheela-Na-Gig
Album: Dry
Capo on 1st fret, all chords relative to the capo. Therefore the tuning is actually
and so an E chord is in
reality an F chord, an F# chord is a G chord and so on. But I have transcribed it as if
is the beginning of the
fretboard so just ignore the 1st fret and play the tab like you normally would.

Intro:
Riff 1
Ive been trying to show you over and over
(palm-muted)
Look at these my child-bearing hips
Look at these my ruby red ruby lips
Look at these my work strong arms and
Youve got to see my bottle full of charm
I lay it all at your feet
You turn around and say back to me
He said
(palm-mute stops)
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist 
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist 
(palm-muted)
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Turn the corner another one there
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before
He said
(palm-mute stops)
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist 
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist 
Put money in your idle hole
    
Put money in your idle hole
    
Riff 1 X 3
(No guitar)
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
(palm-muted)
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Turn the corner another one there
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Heard it before
He said
(palm-mute stops)
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist 
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist 
Put money in your idle hole
    
Put money in your idle hole
He said wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean
He said please take those dirty pillows away from me
He said wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean
He said please take those dirty pillows away from me
He said wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean
He said please take those dirty pillows away from me
He said wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean
He said please take those dirty pillows away from me
E G X 6
End with an E and palm mute. Enjoy, Vaggs ;)
