}Break My Body - Pixies



transcribed by Adam Farmer <sce3159@cf.ac.uk>



Corrections very welcome.



Rhythm guitar



plays barre chords throughout, it's not very

prominent on the record. during verse there's

the odd strum on a G chord with a few A# chords

thrown in when the lead guitar moves up a fret.

Also when the bass guitar plays that short funky

section there's a D chord behind it.



for the chorus the rhythm plays :





A     G  F    Bb      G     C       A



break my body hold my bones hold my bones





Lead guitar

Lyrics :



I'm a hard loser

You'll find me crashing through my mother's door

I am the ugly lover

You'll find us crawling on the dirty floor



Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones   x 3



I'm a belly dancer

I'll shake forever and I'll never care

I'm a building jumper

Roof to roof you see me flying in the air



Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones   x 3



Somebody got hurt

Somebody got hurt

Somebody got her
