PORCELAIN  by BETTER THAN EZRA
off the album DELUXE
transcription by Scott Josselyn (sjosselyn@aol.com)

This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the rhythm and 
flourishes. In addition to the flourishes that I've tried to notate, 
they sometimes use Cadd4 as A passing chord in the G/B-C-F/A passages 
between the C and F/A chords. I don't hear it in the song but I also 
like to throw a Fmaj7/A into the F/A vamps sometimes. There is also 
some bass hammer-on  played over the F/A chord soemtimes that I couldn't
figure out.

i wasn't sure which one of you requested porcelain at the end of your 
killer inside tab, but here is what i got (i saw them in pheonix on 
tuesday 
and stood three feet from griffin so i could see what he was playing):
 
Standard Tuning:            it might sound good with open chords,
                                      tuned to Eb:
 
    Ab   C#   F#   Bb             Ab   C#   F#   Bb
e:--4----4----2----1--       eb:--0----2----3----2--
b:--4----6----2----3--       bb:--2----3----3----4--
g:--5----6----3----3--       gb:--2----2----0----4--
D:--6----6----4----3--       Db:--2----0----0----4--
A:--6----4----4----1--       Ab:--0----0----2----2--
E:--4---------2-------       Eb:------------3-------
 
 
Intro: Ab C# F# (x2)
 
C#                Bb
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
Ab                           F#
To show your face 'round here
C#                Bb
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
Ab                        F#
To dredge up all my fears
 
Ab                  F#
Well I wish I could shake some sense into you
Ab                  F#
And walk out the door
 
         C#      Ab            F#
But your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
 
C#             Bb
Just the other day I felt
Ab               F#
I had you by the strings
C#             Bb
Just the other day I felt
Ab               F#
We could be everything
 
Ab             F#
But now when I see you, you're somebody else
Ab                  F#
With somebody's eyes
 
         C#      Ab            F#
And your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
 
Ab C# F#
        I don't know what I'm sayin'
Ab C# F#
        I don't know if you're there
Ab C# F#
        In the words you are fadin'
Ab C# F#                C# Ab F#
        Do you even care_______?
C# Ab F#
oooooooh
 
Ab                  F#
Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight
Ab               F#
Get into my car, drive into the night
Ab            F#
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above
Ab                 F#
That I was the last one you ever loved_____
 
 C#      Ab             F#
(skin is like) porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#

        Ab C# F#
Yeah___
