I have a vague recollection that Linnie Paterson came from Edinburgh,
FWIW. Also Ricky Gardiner is one of the few people I remember seeing
with a Les Paul recording model. Let's just check out how many of the
brain cells have fallen victim to the demon drink over the years since I
last played this....

She was just a rollin' stone I picked up off the street
D C G D C G
I put shoes on her feet and I gave her food to eat
Am G
Now she acts the lady and she's dressin' up in style
F
Wears a toothpaste smile
E7
Chauffeured all the while

I went up to see her; she set her dog on me
D C G D C G
Her dog on me, her dog on me
Am G
Baby don't you know me? So get your dog off me
F E7
You'd better get your dog off me, woman!
Then she recognised me and laughed until she cried
Invited me inside for cocktails and a ride
I put her through her paces on the couch and on the floor
I was set for more, till a man came through the door
When the man came in he set the dog on me
The dog on me, the dog on me
Please don't let him kill me, get the dog off me
You'd better get your dog off me, man! I said you better...
Cheers,
Magnus.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BEGGAR OPERA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
