Let Ring
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry flavored antacids
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives

I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

version 5
Tuning: Normal ( E A D G B E )
If you have tuned half a step down play the chords 'B5 C#5 A#5' one fret higher
on the fret board.
Chords you need to know:
Am: 002210
G : 320001
Asus2 : 002200
B5 : x2444x
C#5: x4666x
A#5: 5777xx
After each G play: E|-2-3-0-|
(The only times you don't play this is:- all the G's before the chorus.)
Work out the timing/strumming yourself; Kurt strummed/picked the verses then strummed
the chorus. It would be stupid to tab out each pick, just listen to the song and work
it out.

Make sure that after the G chord you play 2-3-0 on the Low E, the rest of the song

Verse 1:
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Chorus:
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
Verse 2:
Give me Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
Chorus:
I'm so tired I can sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
Verse 3:
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Chorus:
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm anemic royalty
I'm anemic royalty
NOTES:
Kurt strums the chorus differently for the 3 times they are played in the song,
what I tabbed is correct for the 1st chorus part only. However, rest assured that
the 3 chorus parts use the same chords, it's just a different strumming pattern Kurt
used. Also, Verse 3 is played slower than the other verses.. and so is the outro, which
also softens towards the end.

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry flavored antacids
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
