                   SONG TITLE: Prove My Love
                 ARTIST/GROUP: Violent Femmes
                        ALBUM: Violent Femmes
               TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@hotmail.com

   CHORDS:
   -------
      EADGBE 
   A (x02220)
   D (xx0232)
   E (022100)
   
   
   One thing you need to know about the verses. You don't really
   play the A chord, you just strum percussively over the muted
   strings and then when the D chord comes you strum it like crazy.
   Listen to it to understand what I mean.
   
   
   INTRO:
   ------
   First drums, then comes bass that plays this:
      (A)               / = slide up
   G|-----------------------------------|
   D|-----------------------------------|
   A|-----------------------------------|
   E|--5------5--5------5----5----3/4/5-|
   
   
   VERSE 1:
   --------
   (A)
   Just last night I was reminded of
   
   just how bad it had gotten and
                          D
   just how sick I have become
       (A)
   But it could change with this relationship
   
   De-deranged, we've all been through some shit
                                       D
   If we think, I think this thing's begun
   
   
   CHORUS:
   -------
   D
   Oh tell me now
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) Oh tell me now
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) Oh tell me now
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) Oooh,
   A        D       E
   Prove my love to you
   
   
   VERSE 2: [play same as VERSE 1]
   --------
   Special favors come in thirty-one flavours
   We're out of mints, pass the lifesavers
   I'm dropping hints, candy for candy coated tongue
   You've been so good, so very good for me
   What do you think, tell me honestly
   I'm wait wait wait, wait wait waiting for your call
   
   
   CHORUS: [play same as first CHORUS]
   -------
   Oh tell me now
   (What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
   (What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
   (What do I have to do) Yeah
   Prove my love to you
   
   
   GUITAR-SOLO:
   ------------
   This solo is really just chords. Mainly variations of
   an A chord.
                    EADGBE      EADGBE      EADGBE         EADGBE
   The chords are A(xx7655), G*(xx0000), A*(xx7658) and A7(xx7685).
   
       A   G* A             A*            A A7 A
   E|--5---0-5---5---5-5----8--8--8--8--8-5-5-5-5----
   B|--5---0-5---5---5-5----5--5--5--5--5-5-8-5-5----
   G|--6---0-6---6---6-6----6--6--6--6--6-6-6-6-6----
   D|--7---0-7---7---7-7----7--7--7--7--7-7-7-7-7----
   A|------------------------------------------------
   E|------------------------------------------------
   
      A  G* A  G* A  G* A      A7            A* A7
   E--5--0--5--0--5--0--5-5----5--5--5--5--5-8--5----|
   B--5--0--5--0--5--0--5-5----8--8--8--8--8-5--8----|

   D--7--0--7--0--7--0--7-7----7--7--7--7--7-7--7----|
   A-------------------------------------------------|
   E-------------------------------------------------|
   
   Then after the solo, the bass plays the intro line and
   Gordon sings this before going into the third verse:
                 |
   (A)
   Third verse, same as the first
   
   
   VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
   --------
   Just last night I was reminded of
   just how bad it had gotten and
   just how sick I have become
   But it could change with this relationship
   De-deranged, we've all been through some shit
   If we think, I think this thing's begun
   
   
   CHORUS:
   -------
   D
   Oh tell me now
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) I'd do anything
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) I'd do it all
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) I'd do it all for you
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) I'd climb a mountain
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) I'd cross the ocean
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) I'd do it all
    A         E       D
   (What do I have to do) Oooh,
   A        D       E        A
   Prove my love to you
