Printer friendly version :: Total views: 89
Track: Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor
Band:  Eels
CD:    Electro-Shock Blues
Transcribed by Bruno Linhares, based on the CAPO'd version by Piet Marcus van der Meulen 
(piet.marcus.van.der.meulen@cmg.nl)
E-mail: mr_kite@usa.net

I saw the Capo version of this song transcribed by Piet Marcus van der Meulen, but i don't
think that is right. It sounds right, but those aren't the real chords. Try these out:
(no capo, play only the D-G-B-e strings)

   Aadd9     F        G        F#
e- --7--   --8---   --10--   --9---
B- --5--   --10--   --12--   --11--
G- --6--   --10--   --12--   --11--
D- --7--   --10--   --12--   --11--
A- --x--   --x---   --x---   --x---
E- --x--   --x---   --x---   --x---

Intro:
Aadd9 - F

Verse:
Aadd9 - F
Aadd9 - F
G - F#
A - F

Lyrics:
Laying on the bathroom floor
Kitty licks my cheek once more
And I could try
But waking up is harder
when you wanna die

Walter's on the telephone
Tell him I am not at home
'Cause I think that I am going
To a place where I am always high

My name's Elizabeth
My life is shit and piss

eels - elizabeth on the bathroom floor
--------------------------------------
tabbed by Husky (husky@telekabel2.nl)

Well, i think this is the fourth time anyone is trying to tab it.. It seems to be a rather 
difficult song.. Anyway i figured out that it's played with *two* guitars, so it's kinda 
difficult to play it on one guitar, i decided to tab it out for *one* guitar, so it's not 
*exactly* the same as the one on the cd...
This tab is based on the tab by Piet Marcus van Meulen.

CAPO on 8th
E  = 022100
C  = 032010
D  = 000232
Db = 003121

Picking Intro (play twice):
E-|-0---2-0-|-0---2-0-|---0-3-0-0-|-
B-|---0-----|---0-----|-1-------1-|-
G-|---------|---------|-----------|-
D-|---------|---------|-----------|-
A-|---------|---------|-----------|-
E-|---------|---------|-----------|-

The next parts are all strumming, you can get a nice effect by using your pinkie finger to 
alter the chords a little during play, for example, you could play C first and then play a 
C while holding the 3rd square on the high e string. This may sound a bit vague, but it's 
really quite easy, listen to the song to hear what i mean. When strumming, only play the 
highest strings.

Verse 1 (E-C)
-------------
laying on the bathroom floor
kitty licks my cheek once more

Verse 2 (D-Db)
---------------------
and i, i could try

Verse 3 (E-C)
-------------
Walter’s on the telephone
telling him I am not at home

Verse 4 (D-Db)
---------------------
‘cause I, think that I 

Verse 5 (E-C)
-------------
am going to a place where I’m always high
my name is Elizabeth
my life is shit and piss
