Meat And Potatoes

capo 1

I put the chords where the bass usually plays the root note of the chord. The guitar
and piano usually play the chord on the up beats. The extra notes in parenthesis are
just notes, not chords. I only tabbed out the extra notes that are featured prominently.
 There's some swinging bass in this song, maybe someday I'll tab that too. I hope I got
all these chords right.  They're close, at least.  In my old age, I sometimes have
trouble hearing seventh chords amid all the solo instruments and walking bass line.


Intro C
                       (g-F#-G-G#-A)

I looked her across the table
                E               
First to see if she was joking,
F                     Fm

We tried a can of cold whipped cream

I was allergic to so much dairy

       C                       G             Am
Then I slapped her  She wasn't expecting
              E
So she hit me back
             F                    Fm
She friggin' cracked me.  I got a nose bleed
        C                  D
She was angry.  She wanted more

Invite the neighbours, or total strangers

Give yourself a leg up, honey
          F                       Fm
Wear 'The Queen' mask. Put on the French basque
             C                                  D
It's full of handy holes, and if we're going to use them all
