Tabbed by: Tablet
AIM: A Bling for Tang
MSN: Jatae14@msn.com
Band: Kittie
Song: Charlotte
Album: Spit
Tuning: Guitar (6 string): Tune all your strings down one whole step. (D, G, C, F, A, D)
Then tune your low D (formally your low E) to a C. (C, G, C, F, A, D)
Bass (5 string): Tune your bass up to match the top 5 strings of a guitar
(E, A, D, G, B), then tune all your strings down one whole step (D, G, C, F, A).
Then tune your low D (formally your low E) to a C. (C, G, C, F, A)
Key: h = Hammer-on
p = Pull-Off
/ = Slide up to next note
= Slide down to next note
~ = Vibrato
* = Let ring
< > = Harmonics
Note: The other tabs I've noticed for this song were sort of on the right track, but didn't
sound quite right to me. So, I decided to tab it for myself. This is my first tab, so
if it's horribly wrong, uh....yeah. The bass part might be a little off, I'll have to
work on that if it is. This is a faily easy song to play, as long as you listen care-
fully to get the timing right. :)

| "So, Im Nothing. You Took Something From Me, Now You've Dissapeared" Someone took her trust/secrets/heart/viginity...and then he just broke out. "You're Right Where I Want You. You Said You Wanted It, Alright." She trys to confront him about this betrayal and he just tries to deny it and act like its ok. "No! Its Not Alright (3x) No..." So she gets mad and tells him hes wrong and its not ok to do shit like that "Now I'm Something, And Your Head Is In My Closet. Dead Forever, They'll Never Search It... " And so he apologises but she tells him 'look, its to late, damage is done...get out of my life' "Out Of Sight No! Its Not Alright (3x) No... I'm Cold, So Cold, Ohh, Ohh (2x) If i Find It (2x) NO! NO WAY! (4x)" Then she reflects on everything that happened and shes sad but shes angry and shes hurt, but she knows that in a way shes won... did that make sense to you?? | |

| To me, this sounds like a guy used her for sex, im not sure about the virginity but it could be. basically he chewed her up and shat her back out... like she was nothing, hince the "so im nothing" and now she's angry at him so she's getting her revenge by hurting him like he hurt her. That's what I think it's about, i could be wrong, but that's what popped in my head when i heard the song. it seems like it could be a theme for girls who have been used by guys. that's what mostly drew me to it, with the 'girl standing up for herself' sound to it. that's my opinion anyway. | |

| I love this song. I used to have the CD, but it was stolen, and I cant get the money at the moment to get a new one. My friend burnt me a CD of the album minus the songs Charlotte, Brackish, and Trippin'. I couldn't believe it! She left off two of the best songs. Oh well, anyways. I love everything about Kittie, and cant get enough of anything the do! I definitly liked the kick a$$ video for this song. | |

| I never associated this song as losing virginity to someone, I always felt the person referred to in the song who betrayed her was a girl. This is most likely due to a phase I was going through when me and my friend had a huge argument, and I felt the same way as the lyrics were put. I think it's about being used by a friend who doesnt appreciate or care about you, and probably ends up betraying you out of selfishness, but eventually you come out better. ("Now I'm something and your head is in my closet"). Like because of what they did to you they'll never be able to redeem something. I dunno how to put it. | |
