Song: Poison Ivy Artist: Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes Tabbed by: Elijah http://www.myspace.com/nostalgicnotion (this is a revised version without the bridge, but it sounds very nice without it) CAPO 2 G 320033 Em 022033 C 032033 D 200233 G Poison Ivy Em Better condition than I’d be C Hook me to an IV D While I whisper, “Why me?” G In the freezer Em Your words give me seizures C And if we take a breather D We’ll break up and be hurt Em D G I won’t let you buy cigarettes Em D G But I’ll let you by with regrets Em D G One thing I’ll find a sure bet Em D G A caged bird will fly is she’s left Em D And I’ll try not to cry C G Your fingers dry my eyes Em D G A memory I’ll never forget G I’ve been wronged Em With little defense C And I’ll sing a song D Of inconsequence G And my days Em With you are numbered C And I’ll be amazed D If we see another Em D G I won’t let you buy cigarettes Em D G But I’ll let you by with regrets Em D G One thing I’ll find a sure bet Em D G A caged bird will fly is she’s left Em D And I’ll try not to cry C G Your fingers dry my eyes Em D G A memory I’ll never forget interlude: just play G Em C D (x4) G Poison Ivy Em Better condition than I’d be C Hook me to an IV G (hold) While I whisper, “Why me?”
