}Break My Body - Pixies


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
