Here's the main riff and the chorus. I don't know the solo note for
note. It involves some half-note slides, I know that much. Mostly
it's variations on the riff.
h = hammer on from the previous note

LYRICS
Verse I:
Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead, se never see the tears I cry
Chorus:
Please Please Please Do not go.... (X3)
Verse II:
How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I wanna see him go bye (X 7 more bye's)
Verse III:
Now I wonder, I wonder what she would say
If I told her, If I told her that I felt this way
You know it might make her turn, might make her turn, might make her turn
either way
So all I can do is patiently pray, pray pray pray pray..
Chorus:
Bass Lead:

You know I could travel, I could travel over the whole world
And you know what she does, she turn around, she turn around she like another gu

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 VIOLENT FEMMES 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.
