Song Title: If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Artist: Squeeze
The last time I sent in a song, some of the chords shifted
slightly. Listen to the song to get a better idea of how
to play it just in case. :)
Please post corrections if I'm way off here.
If I Didn't Love You I'd Hate You - Squeeze
Intro |G|AGD|

Watching you play in the bath

A soap suds stickle back navy

Your skin gets softer and warmer

Tonight it's love by the fire

My mind goes out on the prowl

Cocoa mugs sit side by side

Taking a bite on a biscuit
C G G#min
The record jumps on a scratch

A different interpretation
Words basically taken from what's above, with revised (and hopefully more
correct) chords.
Figured out by Geordan Rosario (geordan@csua.berkeley.edu) with some help from
Ben Scott (scotsman@csua.berkeley.edu). Ben rewound the CD relentlessly for
me.

----------
Footnote 1: If played on keyboard, the D must be played D-F#-A. Won't sound
right otherwise.
Footnote 2: That's right, no chord split F#. i.e., the bassist closes the
song with F#.
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 SQUEEZE 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.
