Orchid Alanis Morissette
Okay, so this is the first song I've tabbed myself and I fear the
possibility thatit may turn out to be an epic failure as far as tabs are
concerned. I really love this absolutely beautiful and brilliant song so
much. I'm really just a singer, but I like to dabble in acoustic guitar
to have something to sing over. I've been searching for this song for ages
and I haven't been able to find a live video performance or a written tab
for it. So in my desperation, I resorted to using my ear, hehe.
Corrections,criticisms and/or advice on tabbing is highly encouraged, though I
would appreciate politeness! :-D
This is my first time after all!
Notes: Standard tuning, w/0 capo.
(Intro)
G Em (x2)
(Verse 1)
[G] Me and my[Em] helmet
[G] Such an u[Em]nconventional kid
[G] All inten[Em]se and kinetic
[Am] At best, [D]tolerated from afar
(Verse 2)
[G] Not yet a[Em]rrested
[G] and by th[Em]at, I mean betrothed
[G] Though at[Em] start, I am duly courted
[Am] I've just[D] not been trusted with altars
(Chorus 1)
[G] I'm a swe[Em]et piece of work
[G] Well inte[Em]ntioned, yet disturbed
[Am] Wrongly l[C]abeled and underfed
[Am] Treated l[D]ike a rose as an Orchid
G Em (x2)
.......(Interlude)..........
(Verse 3)
[G] My friend[Em]s as they weigh in
[G] Get under[Em]standably protective
[G] They have[Em] a hard time being objective
[Am] So inside[D] we cancel each other out
(Chorus 2)
[G] I'm a swe[Em]et piece of work
[G] Well inte[Em]ntioned, and unnerved
[Am] Enabled a[C]nd misunderstood
[Am] Treated l[D]ike a rose as an Orchid
(Middle Eight)
[G] You've br[Bm]ought water to me
[G] Making su[Bm]re my bloom rebounds
[G] You know [Bm]best of what my special care allows...
(Verse 3)
[G] So I've l[Em]ived in my blind spot
[G] Thought m[Em]yself usual when I'm not
[G] In your g[Em]arden is a nice spot
[Am] As long a[D]s it is brave and where you are
(Chorus 3)
[G] For this [Em]sweet piece of work
[G] High main[Em]tenance and deserted
[Am] I've been[C] different and deserving
[Am] Treated l[D]ike a rose as an Orchid
(Chorus 4)
[G] Sweet pie[Em]ce of work
[G] Overwhelm[Em]ed, unobserved
[Am] I've been[C] bowed down to but so misread
[Am] Treated l[D]ike a rose as an Orchid
(Ending)
G Em (play to fade or end on G...)
(Ad Lib vocal embellishments to fade or til final G...)
Well, that's all folks. Please let me know if you have any feedback or corrections.
