Be My Lover - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper Tabbed by Adam Bishop D - xx0232 A - x02220 G - 320033 (or for the shuffle part, 355433) F#m - 244222 The D-A-G progression is the same as in Cake's Short Skirt/Long Jacket, although of course this song is about 15 years older. This song also reminds me of some other song, but I don't know which one or why... (Note: it's now a year after I first tabbed this, and I just learned that this is originally an Alice Cooper song! I had no idea....) The G and F#m would be the chords, when you get to that part...but they are actually shuffle chords. D A G A (x4) Play that progression for the verses She struts into the room but I don't know her But with a magnifying glass just oughta look her over Well had a drink or two, well maybe three And then suddenly she starts telling me her life story G Baby if you want to be my lover F#m D A G You've got to take me home A G Cause it's a long long way to paradise A G D A G And I'm still on my own A On my own I told her that I came from Detroit city And I play guitar in a psychotic rock and roll duo She asked me why the singer's name was Mojo I said "Listen, baby, you really ain't got to know."
