Cheerleader St. Vincent
"Cheerleader"
by St. Vincent
At the time of this post, there were no accurate tabs/chords for this song on the
internet, so I decided to serve the people with my first post. This song can be
found on St. Vincent?s album ?Strange Mercy? or the awesome video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEY9GJAm8bA.
"Anything we can do to raise consciousness and help end the oppression of women
worldwide is a cause I am fully behind. I chose the track 'Cheerleader' because I
think it speaks to not wanting to be an idle object anymore. It?s about taking
control of your own life and not kowtowing to the desires of others."
- St. Vincent (Annie Clark)
It?s not exactly a beginner?s song but as long as you know your major and minor
bar chords and the note names on the guitar, you?ll be good to go. Please enjoy,
although stripped of it?s glorious effects.
