Coax Me by Sloan
Coax Me
E Abm
It all seemed to happen so fast
E Abm
Will you ever believe the way he passed away?
E Abm
I saw his widow speak on her fortune
E Abm
She was feelin' pretty apathetic
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me
E Abm
I drink concentrated OJ
E Abm
Can I think consolidated's okay?
E Abm
It's not the band I hate, it's their fans
E Abm
Three cans of water perverts me
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me
G E
G E
E G
And after he died
E G
By rights she'd have cried
E Abm
I gave mine away
E Abm
I gave mine away
E Abm
I saw a widow's peak on her forehead
E Abm
It was full of lines and sinkers
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me
Abm F# E
Coax me, cajole me

version 2
tabbed the first rhythm guitar which Jay plays throughout the song. Patrick's part (guitar 2) is just chords, and is explained at the end. There's also a third guitar that comes in the bridge and plays chords, doubling Patrick and filling out the sound. Just use the same chords as guitar 2.
GUITAR 1
--------
Play it clean and let it ring throughout. It's played entirely in the top 3
strings. Sometimes he doubles the high notes, but it's difficult to make
out when.

GUITAR 2
--------
This is all played with barre chords, and with a lot of palm muting. I'm not
sure if these are the exact voicings Patrick uses, but close enough. It
sounds like most of the chords are partial chords (i.e. only 3 or 4 of the
6 strings are actually played), but I'll let you figure out how best to play
them. Soundwise, you should use the bridge pickup (preferably a humbucker)
with mild distortion.
