PORCELAIN  by BETTER THAN EZRA
off the album DELUXE

This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the rhythm and 
flourishes. In addition to the flourishes that I've tried to notate, 
they sometimes use Cadd4 as A passing chord in the G/B-C-F/A passages 
between the C and F/A chords. I don't hear it in the song but I also 
like to throw a Fmaj7/A into the F/A vamps sometimes. There is also 
some bass hammer-on  played over the F/A chord soemtimes that I couldn't
figure out.

i wasn't sure which one of you requested porcelain at the end of your 
killer inside tab, but here is what i got (i saw them in pheonix on 
tuesday 
and stood three feet from griffin so i could see what he was playing):
 
Standard Tuning:            it might sound good with open chords,
                                      tuned to Eb:
 
    Ab   C#   F#   Bb             Ab   C#   F#   Bb
e:--4----4----2----1--       eb:--0----2----3----2--
b:--4----6----2----3--       bb:--2----3----3----4--
g:--5----6----3----3--       gb:--2----2----0----4--
D:--6----6----4----3--       Db:--2----0----0----4--
A:--6----4----4----1--       Ab:--0----0----2----2--
E:--4---------2-------       Eb:------------3-------
 
 
Intro: Ab C# F# (x2)
 
C#                Bb
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
Ab                           F#
To show your face 'round here
C#                Bb
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
Ab                        F#
To dredge up all my fears
 
Ab                  F#
Well I wish I could shake some sense into you
Ab                  F#
And walk out the door
 
         C#      Ab            F#
But your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
 
C#             Bb
Just the other day I felt
Ab               F#
I had you by the strings
C#             Bb
Just the other day I felt
Ab               F#
We could be everything
 
Ab             F#
But now when I see you, you're somebody else
Ab                  F#
With somebody's eyes
 
         C#      Ab            F#
And your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
 
Ab C# F#
        I don't know what I'm sayin'
Ab C# F#
        I don't know if you're there
Ab C# F#
        In the words you are fadin'
Ab C# F#                C# Ab F#
        Do you even care_______?
C# Ab F#
oooooooh
 
Ab                  F#
Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight
Ab               F#
Get into my car, drive into the night
Ab            F#
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above
Ab                 F#
That I was the last one you ever loved_____
 
 C#      Ab             F#
(skin is like) porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
          C#      Ab            F#
