Jesus Shaves

E|-----| ----- ----- 

This is an acoustic adaptation.  
What this means is that it does not 
follow
the recording line by line.  
Instead, it is meant to be played as
 written
below, with one person singing the 
melody.  Should somebody decide to 
tab
the much more complex version as per
 The Roches, I hope this is a good
starting point.

It may be noted, however, that the 
chords written below AD  in the same
 key
as the recording.  In addition, the 
chords have been carefully placed 
above
the syllables in which they make the
 most sense to be emphasized.
