"Jennifer's Body" from Hole's "Live Through This"
Move this power chord on the frets as numbered:
first finger two frets above the fourth finger, 6th and 5th strings:
open E with 3rd finger on 5th, power chord on 10, slide to 7th
it changes for a little while, but it's just the power chord on a different
fret

E G D B
I know it, I can't feel it
Well I know it enough to believe it
And I know it, I can't see it
But I know it enough to belie-ve it
[distortion]
To bet on you, to bet on me, my better half as sick as me
To bet on you, to bet on me, I'm sleeping with my enemy,

Just me, he likes just me, he likes just go to you, sleep
Just me, he likes just me, he likes just go to sleep

E G D B
You're hungry, but I'm star-ving
He cuts you down from the tree
He keeps you in a box by the bed
Alive, but just barely
[distortion]
He said "I'm your lover, I'm your friend, I'm pur-e-ly(??) hit me again
With a bullet, number one, kill the family, save the son,

Now that I've made a couple TAB's, I guess I can request one thing outta you
guys.. I've never seen anyone figure out that really fast riff in Nirvana's
Love Buzz.. it's something like:
e --6p4----
B ------6--
but that doesn't sound quite right.. mail me if you get anywhere with it..

| I always thought the lyrics were "The bitter you, the bitter me, my better half has bitten me" but I'm probably wrong. I always thought this song was about being in an abusive relationship. | |

| this has always been one of the most haunting hole songs to me... "just relax, just relax, just go to sleep" has often kept me sane when trying to go to sleep but unable to for fear of nightmares. | |

| I like the interpretations, and to the persons who have said, "Rape" and Kidnapping and murder" I always felt that there was something very sinister about this song...And the 2 people who like this song, your not weird...I like it to. MaggieMichelle | |

| this song totally reminds me of my situation at christmas. i will share my story my name is jennifer lol what a coinsidence. at christmas my bf ov 2 years slept with sum1 else 2days afta we broke up coz he took an od ov esctacy and we were each others 1 and only. i found out coz he wanted me back after his foolish mistake and i started heavily drinking. i perchased this song the day after he told me. any way this is how i relate 2 the song... "I know it, I can't feel it Well, I know it enough to believe it And I know it, I can't see it But I know it enough to believe it" i could tell even before he told me something was up. things just didnt seem right he wanted 2 b close to me but at the same time he was distant. "It's bettering you, it's bettering me My better half has bitten me It's bettering you, it's bettering me" we had always said we were eachother better half and he bitten me by distroying me making me into an empty shell. "Sleeping with my enemy Myself Myself" i like i was my own worst ememy and i was litrally slepping with myself while he had, had his hore. "The pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body" the pieces of my body are photographs. he contacted me after his mistake because he missed me and were looking at photographs of me/us. "Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep" i couldn't sleep for weeks with what he had done i had all this anxiety inside of me. "You're hungry, but I'm starving He cuts you down from the tree He keeps you in a box by the bed Alive, but just barely " i couldn't eat with what he had done i felt so ill. the "box" is his box ov memories e.g photographs. i was alive as in the respect of he could look at me but he could never hold me. "He said, "I'm your lover, I'm your friend I'm purity, hit me again" With a bullet, number one, kill the family, save the son Himself himself " i am his everything and he has now lost it all. i was the one who saved him from his mistakes and when he lost me he had to save himself. "The pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Now you're mine..." photographs/memories of me and in the end he got me back. thankyou for listening | |

| i read in courtney's bio she had a friend when she was a teenager (who was given a fake name in the book to protect her identity) and her friend's dad molested her. 'he keeps you in a box by the bed' may be meaning he forced her down and raped her. | |

| to me, it sounds like its a girl having an affair with a married man. Just my opinion, she tries not to be specific with these lyrics for a reason. | |
