* denotes power chord
The chord I called BaddF# is a (partially) barred B major played with the F# on the high 
string (9th fret). It looks like this:

E--9-------------|
B--7-------------|
G--8-------------|
D--9-------------|
A----------------|
E----------------|

Strum that chord very slowly, accenting the F#. Watch the timing on some of the 
it can be tricky. Please rate!

"Odalisque"

Ebm Ab B BaddF#
They've come to find you, Odalisque

Ebm Ab B BaddF#
As the light dies horribly

Bbm Bbm Ebm Ab
On a fire escape you walk

Bbm Bbm Ebm Ab B BaddF#
All rare and resolved to drop

Ebm Ab B BaddF#

Ebm Ab B BaddF#
And when they find you, Odalisque

Ebm Ab B BaddF#
They will rend you, terribly

Bbm Bbm Ebm Ab
Stitch from stitch 'til all

Bbm Bbm Ebm Ab B BaddF#
Your linen limbs will fall

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* x2

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* B B
Lazy lady had a baby girl

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#*
And a sweet it made

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* B B
Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#*
In a railroad cul-de-sac

C# Eb
And what do we do with ten baby shoes

B C#m
A kit bag full of marbles and a broken billiard cue?

B
What do we do?

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* x2
What do we do?


Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* B B
Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#*
And them rip them down again

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* B B
Sapling switches will rend those rags alright

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#* / Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#*
What a sweet sound it makes

C# Eb
And what we do with ten dirty Jews

B C#m
A thirty-ought full of rock salt and a warm afternoon?

B
What do we do?

Bb*
What do we do?

Bb*
Lay your belly under mine

Bb*                     B Bb*
Naked under me, under me

Bb*
Such a filthy dimming shine

Bb*                      B                  Bb*
The way you kick and scream, kick and scream

Bb* Bb/A* Bb*

Bb* Bb/A* Ab*  Bb*

C# Eb
And what do we with ten baby shoes

B C#m
A kit bag full of marbles and broken billiard cue?

B
What do we do?

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#*
What do we do?

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#*

Ab* Ab* Ab* B* C#*  / Ab* Ab* B B
Lazy lady had a baby girl
