Saw Paula in concert tonight (amazing!!!) and made sure to watch for that little arpeggio. The verses are basically one chord shape that slides between frets, and the picking pattern is pretty self-evident. I didn't get the fills, but the verse riff works fine for bridging. Ben
WATCH THE WOMAN'S HANDS Words and music: Paula Cole Album: _Harbinger_
Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land G9 A9 (repeat same chords through verses) As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child As she holds him, as she holds him
Watch the woman's hands as she holds her children back Watch how they fight to keep the family tight Together, together
CHORUS: Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Watch the woman's hands as she talks to the man As he talks down to her, as he tells her He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hand Clenching tightly, angrily
CHORUS REPEATED
[Various drum solos, hand claps and beat-boxing; end on Em]
