I transcribed this song of my 
favourite artist Peej 'cause nearly
anything that you can download from 
Peej is just the chords of the
song, which isn't much, 'cause she 
just plays 5 chords in this song, 
and
in others even less. But the 
interesting thing in her music is 
how
she plays the chords. I tried to 
work these details out, but I guess
I didn't really succeed, 'cause it's
 hard to hear how many strings
she plays. Playing the song like 
this with the band it sounded quite
identically, but there was something
 missing and i had to notice that
when you play such easy things like 
this song, you need lots of feeling
to sound good. When Peej plays her 
simple things it just sounds 
fantastic,
'cause she got more feeling than 
just anybody.

If you have some changes or 
additions or just something to say 
about PJ,
her person, her work, this song and 
especially about this transcription,

Hello,

On a Friday night, after the clubs 
are gone, I get to thinking how 
someone on
is the first of a few I've currently
 done:  Sheila-Na-Gig!

Sheila-Na-Gig
By Polly Jane Harvey
(As interpreted by Sean Hennessey)

Chords: F#, A, D, C

Firstly, it opens with this riff:
e----O-----O----------------------
b--b\3--1-----1vPvO--O--O--O------
g-----------------------------2---
d---------------------------------
a---------------------------------
E---------------------------------

e|---| 
b|---| 
g|O--| 
d|---| 
a|---| 
E|---| 

In which the b\ is a slight blues 
bend (not pitch spec.) and the P is 
a pull
off.

Then it's:   (first 2 line with out 
any chords)

I've been trying to show you

Over and over

F#                              A

                       Look at these
 my

F#                              A
Child bear-                     ing 
hips

F#                              A
                       Look at these
 my

F#                              A
Ruby red  ru-                   by 
lips

F#                              A
                       Look at these
 my

F#                              A
Work strong                    arms 
and

F#                              A
                  Youv'e got to see 
my

F#                              A
Bottleful                       of 
charms

F#                              A
                            Lay it 
all

F#                            
At your                         
  A
feet, you

F#                              A
Turn                          around
  and say

F#                              A
Back to me                      She 
said

F#                              A
Sheila-na-g-                    ig

F#                              A
Sheila-na-g-                    i-ig

F#                              A
                           You ex-a-

F#                              A
bitionist

Sheila-na-gig
Sheila-na-gig
You exibitionist

(Rep: Sheila bit 2 times then:)

    D             A    C

F#                              A
He said                 Wash    your
 face

F#                              A
I don't want to                 be 
unclean

F#                              A
He said                       Please
 take your

F#                              A
Dirty pillows                 away 
from me



There you go, the rest follow the 
same pattern...  F# and A rule the 
song!

Tara friends,
Sean Hennessey
