4st7lb Acoustic, by Dan Thomas
I will cover this song one day.

Cmaj7: 032000
Eb:    XX0343
Gm:    355333
Esus:  002200

Well here's my first tab.. its quite a nice easy song to play.
The most complicated part is the bass riff over the verses. Practise
and over time your hands get used to the movements and the picking required.
Instead of Riff 1 and 2 you could play F, E.. it represents the two changes
in the riffs and sortof works. Do whatever sounds best to you.
The solo can be shortened to a few seconds of Gm, or just skip it
altogether.

  Riff 1                      Riff 2


Riff 1
Days since I last pissed
             Riff2
Cheeks sunken and despaired
Riff 1
So gorgeous sunk to six stone
     Riff 2
Lose my only remaining home


Riff 1
See my third rib appear
       Riff 2
A week later all my flesh disappears
Riff 1
Stretching taut, cling-film on bone
    Riff 2
I'm getting better

Am                                Dm
Karen says I've reached my target weight
                                    G
Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake
                                   Cmaj7
Problem is diet's not a big enough word

              B                      E
I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view

Eb     D   C               D
I I, I I I want to walk in the snow
    Eb          D          C      D
And not leave a footprint
Eb     D   C               D
I I, I I I want to walk in the snow
    Eb           D         C      D
And not soil its purity


Solo: Gm


Riff 1
Stomach collapsed at five
        Riff 2
Lift up my skirt my sex is gone
Riff 1
Naked and lovely and 5 stone 2
      Riff2
May I bud and never flower

Riff 1
My vision's getting blurred
          Riff 2
But I can see my ribs and I feel fine
Riff 1
My hands are trembling stalks
          Riff 2
And I can feel my breasts are sinking

Am                                  Dm
Mother tries to choke me with roast beef
                              G
And sits savouring her sole Ryvitta
                                      Cmaj7
That's the way you're built my father said

          B                 E
But I can change, my cocoon shedding

Eb     D   C               D
I I, I I I want to walk in the snow
    Eb          D          C      D
And not leave a footprint
Eb     D   C               D
I I, I I I want to walk in the snow
    Eb           D         C      D
And not soil its purity


C-C, F-F, G-G


C
Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat
F                 G
All things I like looking at
C
Too weak to fuss, too weak to die
F                  G         Am            Asus
Choice is skeletal in everybody's life

C
I choose my choice, I starve to frenzy
F                      G
Hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires
C
Legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy
    F                G              Am           Asus
And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me

C
Self-worth scatters, self-esteem's a bore
  F                     G
I long since moved to a higher plateau
C
This discipline's so rare so please applaud
F                G            Am              Asus
Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so

C
Yeah 4 stone 7, an epilogue of youth
F                   G
Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse
C
I've finally come to understand life
F               G             Am
Through staring blankly at my navel
