I transcribed this song of my favourite artist Peej 'cause nearly
anything that you can download from Peej is just the chords of the
song, which isn't much, 'cause she just plays 5 chords in this song, and
in others even less. But the interesting thing in her music is how
she plays the chords. I tried to work these details out, but I guess
I didn't really succeed, 'cause it's hard to hear how many strings
she plays. Playing the song like this with the band it sounded quite
identically, but there was something missing and i had to notice that
when you play such easy things like this song, you need lots of feeling
to sound good. When Peej plays her simple things it just sounds fantastic,
'cause she got more feeling than just anybody.
If you have some changes or additions or just something to say about PJ,
her person, her work, this song and especially about this transcription,

Hello,
Оn a Friday night, after the clubs are gone, I get to thinking how someone on
one of my mailing lists bemoans the lack of PJ Harvey tabs on the net. So here
is the first of a few I've currently done: Sheila-Na-Gig!
Sheila-Na-Gig
By Polly Jane Harvey
(As interpreted by Sean Hennessey)
Chords: F#, A, D, C
Firstly, it opens with this riff:
e----О-----О-------------------------|
b--b3--1-----1vРvО--О--О--О---------|
g-----------------------------2---О--|
d------------------------------------|
a------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------|
In which the b is a slight blues bend (not pitch spec.) and the P is a pull
off.
Then it's: (first 2 line with out any chords)
I've been trying to show you
Оvеr and over
F# A
Look at these my
F# A
Child bear- ing hips
F# A
Look at these my
F# A
Ruby red ru- by lips
F# A
Look at these my
F# A
Work strong arms and
F# A
Youv'e got to see my
F# A
Bottleful of charms
F# A
Lay it all
F# A
At your feet, you
F# A
Turn around and say
F# A
Back to me She said
F# A
Sheila-na-g- ig
F# A
Sheila-na-g- i-ig
F# A
You ex-a-
F# A
bitionist
Sheila-na-gig
Sheila-na-gig
You exibitionist
(Rep: Sheila bit 2 times then:)
D A C
Put Money in your idle hole and:
F# A
He said Wash your face
F# A
I don't want to be unclean
F# A
He said Please take your
F# A
Dirty pillows away from me
There you go, the rest follow the same pattern... F# and A rule the song!
Tara friends,
Sean Hennessey
