Chords

Ok, so this is my second tab of a song by Queen Flo (+ the whole band). The one I found on UG didn't sound right to me, so I watched a few live performances and I have found the right chord progression... I hope. I absolutely adore this song and I think it's a real pity it didn't make it to the album, though they luckily decided to include it in the Deluxe Edition. It's supremely blasphemous and it really deserves much more recognition than it actually gets. Little tip: keeping the same chord for the whole verse may get boring, so I suggest you to play an Em/B in the last 1/4 of each bar. The chorus and the bridge instead sound fine as they are, I believe. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do... Please rate and comment! INTRO: / Em / Em / x2 VERSE:
           Em
This is as good a place to fall as any

      Em
We'll build our altar here

Em
Make me your Maria,

       Em
I'm already on my knees

        Em
You had Jesus on your breath

      Em
And I caught him in mine

Em
Sweating our confessions

       Em
The undone and the divine
CHORUS:
Em
This is his body

Em
This is his love

Em
Such selfish prayers

Em
And I can't get enough
/ Em / Em / C / Am Ab / x2 VERSE:
Em
Spilled milk tears,

  Em
I did this for you

         Em
Spilling over the idol

     Em
The black and the blue

      Em
The sweetest submission

Em
Drinking it in

     Em
The wine, the women, the bedroom hymns
CHORUS:
        Em
'Cause this is his body

Em
This is his love

Em
Such selfish prayers

Em
And I can't get enough
/ Em / Em / C / Am Ab / x2 BRIDGE:
Em
I'm not here looking for absolution

C                         Am      Ab                        
Because I found myself an old solution

Em
I'm not here looking for absolution

C                         Am       Ab
Because I found myself an old solution
CHORUS:
Em
This is his body

Em
This is his love

C                    
Such selfish prayers,

Am            Ab
I can't get enough

Em
This is his body

Em
This is his love

C                          
Such selfish prayers,

Am   Ab
I can't get...
