------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit in the Straight World by Hole ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1994's 'Live Through This'. This is actually a punk rock version of a Young Marble Giants song, but it's an excellent cover. There are two guitars in the song and there are some instances here where Riffs C and D overlap in the choruses, but it's not a big deal so I tabbed it without indicating the timing for that. Listen to the song for an idea, but you can play this with one guitar fairly easily as well. I can't say this tab is 100% correct, but it sounds damn close to me and is more complete than the ones already on here. Play with distortion. "x" = string mute "/" = slide up "\" = slide down "b" = string bend Tuning: Standard (Introduction verse with organ): And I will awake Your highness, I'm so high I cannot walk And I will awake You cripple, you take away my time My peace, my empathy No babies sleep on atrophy Your unborn love and fetal stress Hard bitter candy, legless caress Riff A (Intro): e|---------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------| D|-2xxxxxxx--5xxxxxxxx/9xxxxxxxx\8xxxxxxxx-----| A|-2xxxxxxx--5xxxxxxxx/9xxxxxxxx\8xxxxxxxx-----| E|-00000000--3xxxxxxxx/7xxxxxxxx\6xxxxxxxx-----| Riff B (Main Riff): e|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|-------33333---------55555--------| D|-22222-33333--44444--55555--------| A|-22222-11111--44444--33333--------| E|-00000-00000--22222--00000--------| Riff B x 3 Riff C (Verse): e|------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------| D|--2xxxxxxx-2xxxxxxx-2xxxxxxx-2xxxxxxx-----------| A|--2xxxxxxx-2xxxxxxx-2xxxxxxx-2xxxxxxx-----------| E|--00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000-----------| Got the credit in the straight world Look a dealer in the eye Got the credit in the real world Won't you try?
