Anthems For A 17 Year Old Girl


This song is one of BSS's best.. it's really instrumental; the banjo throughout the was base for the guitar part I wrote. I had to get creative, you kind of have to experiment it. It would sound really sick with about 3 guitars, one playing the banjo part, and the two playing chords in synch until about half way through the song where one splits into the chords. Anyway here it is: Banjo: (beginning) E 0-----------0---------| B ----2---0-------2---0-| G ----------------------| D ----------------------| A ----------------------| E ----------------------| In the middle and towards the end the bass picks up with the banjo (you have to with this a bit but this is the scale it uses): E 0--0------------------------------| B -----2--2--0--0-------------------| G -----------------1--1-------------| D ----------------------2--2--2--2--| A ----------------------------------| E ----------------------------------| Chords: A Aadd9 E A** E 0 0 0 0 B 2 0 0 4 G 2 2 1 4 D 2 2 2 4 A 0 0 2 0 E 0 0 0 0 note: on A** in some parts put your pinky on the 5th fret on the high E, towawrds the of the measure, to immitate the violin (i'll point it out) A Aadd9 E Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that. A Aadd9 E Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that. A Aadd9 E Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that. A Aadd9 E Now you're all gone, got your makeup on, and you're not coming back. Can't you come back? A Aadd9 E Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that. A Aadd9 E Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that. A Aadd9 E Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that. A Aadd9 E Now you're all gone, got your makeup on, and you're not coming back. A A** Bleachin' your teeth, smilin' flash, talkin' trash under your breath. A A** Bleachin' your teeth, smilin' flash, talkin' trash under your breath. A A** Bleachin' your teeth, smilin' flash, talkin' trash under your breath. A A** PINKY Bleachin' your teeth, smilin' flash, talkin' trash under my window. ::banjo and base:: A Aadd9 E (x8) (same rhythm as before) A A** Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me. A A** PINKY Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me. A A** Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me. A A** PINKY Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me.... ~~~Here's where the guitars would split from being in synch:~~~ A A** A Aadd9 E Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me. A A** PINKY A Aadd9 E Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me. A A** A Aadd9 E Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me. A A** PINKY A Aadd9 E Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me.... ~~Ending:~~ A Aadd9 E A Aadd9 E A Aadd9 E Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that. A Aadd9 E Now you're all gone, got your makeup on, and you're not coming back. Yup, I tried my best. Fool around with it, its a sick song to add guitar too. Catch ya later...
