Over The Edge by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cover of the indie punk classic by the Wipers, this track is the opener to Hole's 1995
EP 'Ask For It' and was recorded in March 1992 shortly after Courtney gave birth to
Frances. It was originally released on the tribute album 'Fourteen Songs For Greg Sage
and the Wipers' (1993). There are two guitars in this song playing essentially the same chord
progressions, just one higher and one lower. There are also a couple of solos in there
that are played synchronously with the chord progressions, but I didn't bother tabbing
them. They are played on the G string if you want to figure them out. Courtney adds a
couple of lines about Portland at the very end of the song.

LYRICS:
It's not the truth I see
It's just a mockery
Don't need to waste my time
You know I really try
You take and never give
It gets so hard to live
I'm hanging on a ledge
Pushed straight over the edge
Grow up and be a man
Drop dead right where I stand
I'm hanging on a ledge
Pushed straight over the edge
Don't do the things you do
Don't have to oblige you
Make choices on my own
Don't buy the shit they sell
You take and never give
It gets so hard to live
I'm hanging on a ledge
Pushed straight over the edge
(You go to Portland)
(You might take him with you)
(You go to Portland)
