The Nurse Who Loved Me live version by A Perfect Circle Guitarists- billy howerdel and james iha Okay so I did the whole thing in word so you better appreciated this. Guitars tuned down 1 and a half steps, c sharp, ////slide up \\slide down Intro, original verse, whole notes for each chord There are two guitars, 1-billy, 2 -james, guitar 1 plays the intro, clean sound with a little chorus 6|---------0---0---0-------------0 5|-9-------0---0---0----7--------0 4|-9---7---8---6---5—---7---6----8 3|-9---9---9---7---6----7---7----9 2|-7---9---9---7---6----5---7----9 repeat 1|-----6---7---5---4--------5----7 each of those gets a whole note or strum four quarters then repeat. Chorus, im taking her home with me…. 6|---------- 5|---------- 4|------9--- 3|-7-10-9-9- 2|-7-10-7-9- 1|-5-8----7-play this three times, once again each chord getting played for a whole four beats. This is where APC changes the song and makes it all dark and minor sounding. Play this with some delay, still clean 6|----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- 5|------9//11 ------9//12 ------9//15 ------9-10-9\ 4|----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- 3|----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- 2|-5//77----- -5//77----- -5//77----- -5//77-------- 1|----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 …Say hello to the rugs topography….. Do this for a while then we have a little instrumental break where each guitarist does a little solo, Gtr 2 james, comes in first. 2 solos played together sounds awesome as they harmonize and produce little chords. Use distortion 6|------------------------------------------------- 5|-999999999777777777999999991010101010121213131312 4|------------------------------------------------- 3|------------------------------------------------- 2|------------------------------------------------- 1|------------------------------------------------- 6|-------------------------10b12-----------7h87h87h87h87h87 5|------------10—-8---------------------------------------- 4|--------------7---9-9*----------------------------------- 3|----------------------9-------10-10-10-9----------------- 2|--------------------------------------------------------- 1|-0 let ring---------------------------------------------- • bend this note up 1 step and give it on heck of a pinch harmonic. words come back in for the second verse type thing 6|------------------------------------- 5|------------------------------------- 4|------------------------------------- 3|------------------------------------- 2|-5//7-7h8p7-5-5//7-7h8p7-5-5//7------ 1|------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4 “Say hello to all the apples on the ground… Chorus 2” both guitars distorted Gtr 1, billy 6|------------------------------------ 5|------------------------------------ 4|---------------------9-9-9-9-------- 3|-7-7-7-7-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 x4 2|-7-7-7-7-11-11-11-11-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9 1|-5-5-5-5-8—--8-8—-8----------7-7-7-7 Gt2 2, james IHAAAA 6|--------------------------------------9-7 5|-9-10-9-12-10-9—12-10—9-10-9-12-10-9---- 4|---------------9--------------------8--- x2 3|---------------------------------------- 2|---------------------------------------- 1|---------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4,1 2 3 4,1 2 3 4 , 1 23 4 Guitar solos, the fun part after 2nd chorus Gtr 1, billy 6|--------------------------7-8-10---------------10—10----- 5|-10—--8---------------8-9---------10-8-10-10b12—12r10-8-- 4|---7----6—7-------7-8------------------------------------ 3|-------------7-7-8--------------------------------------- 2|--------------------------------------------------------- 1|--------------------------------------------------------- End with some random slides then play the chorus chords under james’ solo 6|-////17-------------16-19b20r19—16b17r16----------------- 5|-------17---------17--------------------16-17-16-19-16-17 4|----------18-16-17--------------------------------------- 3|--------------------------------------------------------- 2|--------------------------------------------------------- 1|--------------------------------------------------------- 6|-17----------------------------19-19-19-21-21-21-2119 5|---17------------------------------------------------- 4|-----18-16-17-17b19-19r17-16-------------------------- 3|------------------------------------------------------ 2|------------------------------------------------------ 1|------------------------------------------------------ Final chorus begins now!

I think they play this part 2 times Outro, just one guitar, clean 6|---------- 5|-9-------9 4|-9-7-8-6-9 3|-9-8-9-7-9 2|-7-8-9-7-7 1|---6-7-5-0 Each chord played for a whole note, let last chord ring And that’s the whole thing. Im sure that some parts a little little confusing, like the little solos played inbetween verses but just listen to a recording and youll get it
