Hair - PJ Harvey

This is a great song with some awesome drumming. The guitar part
is pretty simple, but pay attention to the changes in dynamics as
this is what makes the song work.

Chorus
------

(Loud and heavy!)

        A5  F5     A5   G5
he said wait, said wait

               F5    G5         F5

     A5  F5     A5   G5

               F5    G5         F5

    G5              F5
you cut off my hair

    G5              F5

Riff B:

G-----0-----0--0-----0--0--0--0-----------------
D-----5--------------0--0-----------------------
A--5-----5--------3-----3-----------------------
E--3-----3--------1-----------------------------

This is a rough guide to what to play. The open G string is picked
out fairly rapidly, in between strums on thee G5 and F5 shapes on the 
bottom strings. The drums and distortion make it hard to pick out the 
exact part, but this should give you the main idea.


Verse 3
-------

(Use palm mute for dry sound)


E----3---3--0-1--1--3----3--0-1--1--3---3--0-1--1--3----3--0-1--1/----

 Samson,       your stay       with your       'lilah           I'll


E--5---5--0-1--1--5----5---0-3--3--3----3--0-1--1--3----3--0-1--1/-----

 hold         you in           my hands,            yeah       your


E--5---5--0-1--1--5----5---0-3--3--3----3--0-1--1--3----------

 hair,      your strength,     my man,         my man
