Subject: Chords. Old Age (With the "I'm So High" intro)-Unplugged version. Hole

Hole 
"Old Age"
Hole: MTV Unplugged In New York City.

Lyrics written by Courtney Love, Hole.
Music by Kurt Cobain, Nirvana.

Ok, I'm not sure if this absolutely 100% correct, I think it is, this is 
what I saw from the Unplugged so here... This whole song was played by Eric 
Erlandson. (My Favorite!:)

Ok, This was sange with the "I'm So High" chant also used in the beggining 
of "Credit In The Straight World" which was on Live Through This, but this 
time the words are changed around a little bit and and they (Courtney Love 
and Mellissa Auf Der Maur) also sange "Rest In Peace" in the begining and 
ending...

If you have heard the song then you probably already know that you should 
upstring a lot. I didn't list where. If you would like to specificly know 
where e-mail me.

What was she for Halloween?
   E               C#
The ugliest girl you ever seen
 E      G#       C#   E
Someday she will die alone
 E                 C#
Someday she won't have to fake it
       E             C# 
When living with it-self seemed sacred
 E              G#   C#
Someday he will die alone
 E        C#       E
He seemed to me to know
  E      C#            E
All the glitter turned sour
 E        C#          E
All that lied in his face

They all think that she-e is head-less
 E                  C#
Spits at music it's not an issue
 E               C#
Just remove this able tissue
 C#                 G#            E
They all think that we-e were friend-less
 E        C#        E
He seemed to me to know
 E       C#              E
All the glitter turned sour

All the lied in my face

And I begged him I said "Pretty please...
C#                                    G#         E
Just make me pure again just make me cleee-yeah-ean..."

And what was she for Valentine's?
 E                C#
An old forgotten rape of mine

Someday she will die alone

Rest in me and
Peace in pieces
Rest in peace and
Peace in pieces
 (Mellissa continues singing in the background "She said, she said")
We're sorry, so sorry, we're sorre-e-ey  (Mellissa stops)
Rest in piece and me in pieces
Rest in me and 
Peace in pieces...
