You Oughta Know
Alanis Morisette CHORDS: ------- EADGBE EADGBE F# (244322) F#2 (x-9-11-11-11-x) B (x24442) B2 (x-14-16-16-16-x) E (022100) A7 (57565x) A (x02220) B7 (x24242) The `+' above the tab represents the beat; `~~~' indicates the length of a sustained note (so it is not a vibrato-sign!) N.C. means 'no chord', don't play anything. Guitar 1 (overdriven) plays the chords that are indicated above the lyrics in the tab. An `x' means a scratch. Guitar 2 plays the tab. It is a clean guitar, with tremolo. Maybe the tab for guitar 2 is an octave too high, I'm not sure. VERSE 1: -------- N.C. I want you to know that I'm happy for you. I wish nothing but the best for you both. | + + + + | + + + + | E|-------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|-14---------17~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---| G|-----14------------------------|-----------------------------14-| D|---------14--------------------|--------------------------------| A|-------------------------------|--------------------------------| E|-------------------------------|--------------------------------| Another version of me; Is she perverted like me?
