Song

For The Ladies

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Written by Stephen Lynch

Tabbed by Amea (amea.eriksson@bredband.net)

This is a great fu**ing song by Lynch! One of his most controversial punchlines is in

this song (Well, that and the part about SIDS in "Baby" has created lots of drop-the

chin faces..hehe)

Anyway, I saw this song incorrectly tabbed on another site so I just had to fix it.

Listen to the song for the timing. This tab is as he plays it on the DVD Live At The

El Rey)

Please mail me if you have questions..

INTRO:

"I'd like to dedicate this next song.. to the ladies. (whoo!)

You might wanna hold off on them "whoo"'s, ladies

This is really a terrible terrible song.

It really is, I'm warning you right now: this one is FU**ING awful!

Alright.. For The Ladies.

If you're sensitive, I'm warning you right now; Earplugs."

CHORUS:

F G5 Am G F C

I could kick you in the stomach and catch you unawares

Am G F C

I could swear to God you accidently fell that flight of stairs

Am G F C

When I tell you that I love you I will look you in the eye

Dm C F

As I slowly slide the hanger up your thigh..

"I'm so sorry! I can't believe I just said that!

As I said, that one's for the ladies."
