Sidenote- the first time through, the B is played on the 7th fret E string.
This is the
way for the first time after every chorus. After that is is played on the A
string,
fret. Like so:

G--------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------------------|
A---------------33-------------------------2-2-2-2-|
E-33-333-333-33----5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-1-1-1-1---------|

Not too hard.. but sounds cooool :)

as far as I can tell, black francis wrote this song from the perspective of king david. i vaguely remember a biblical story in which king david sees bathsheba bathing and has her sent to his palace. meanwhile, he sends bathsheba's husband, uriah, off to the front line of battle, where he dies.

zooey, yep that's correct, he sees her bathing and brings her over, impregnates her, and then he asks uriah to go over and have sex with his wife, so it seems as if he impregnated her, but uriah didn't agree, he sayed that it isn't fair for him to rest while other soldiers are dying, so david sent him to die in battle. (corrupt lil' bastard) and other than that, this song rules

Absolutely love this and all of Frank's biblical songs. One question I have: any idea what the line "you're suffocating you need a good shed" means?

>One question I have: any idea what the line "you're suffocating you need a good shed" means? Shed is an easy rhyme with dead. I think it's David telling her, "You're place is pretty small, baby. You can hardly breathe there. Come on over and live at my place."

This is an awesome song! I think its about a woman who's husband has died and he was a bit of a bastard so shes pretty happy about it...:P
