Verse:
Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men.
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons.
Little girl wants to make her home with him,
In the middle of the shore, she wonders,
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."

Your rube is young and handsome. So new to your bedroom floor,

I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all.
From their coral graces, theyrise up when darkness falls.
With their bones they'll scratch the window,
I hear them call.
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."

Well actually, this is just a chord chart; it's so simple it hardly needs
tabbing.
I've just listened to the song, written down the first words I heard (as
in, some of them are probably wrong but they will do for now) and stuck
the chords over them.

This is only the opening riff, which is repeated throughout the song.
It's all I've done so far. The rest is still close to an utter mystery
to me. Note the open-D tuning. This is something of a novelty, given that
Jeff was renowned for using dropped-D and open-G tunings (both of which
I had tried in failed attempts to tab this out before now).
The clue came in the French radio broadcast of the Bataclan concert from
1995, which I was recently sent -- you HEAR him retune as the drums kick
in to this song, string by string, into the tuning I have shown below.
Explains why I was having trouble with "Kanga-Roo" as well (he typically
segued from an instrumental version of "Vancouver" into "Kanga-Roo" in
live shows, which means they are in the same tuning).

This song is mainly just distorted single notes, no chords. So this is
gonna be a tab, NOT a chord chart.
Thanx to Angela Chiew for the lyrics. There will be a complete tab later.

A partial and tentative tab by Michael Harris (8 June 1998).
For personal use only. Please do not use or modify this tab without acknowledgment.
I'm just setting out the simple-type chords for this, for now. I'll match
them with lyrics at a later stage.
Note that the guitar on the album is tuned down about a semi-tone (half-step)
compared to most of the other recordings. Important to know if you plan
to play along!
Verse: G Em C A7 (repeated over verse)
(The G chord here is often played as a G6 which is a fancy way of saying
that Jeff leaves the top E string unfretted and plays it open.)
Chorus: C9 A7sus4 D G C9 A7sus4 D Gm G
