Stone Temple Pilots - "Maver"
From "Stone Temple Pilots" 2010 album
Standard Tuning - acoustics/Electrics
Tabbed by jjhand
I wrote the main riff part for capo and without, since a capo makes
playing it easier. Most of the song's acoustic parts can be played
using the capo, if desired. Please rate/comment.

Verse - Play intro with lyrics
"Maver with her lucky bonnet
She used to paint her flowers on it
She keeps her memories on a turnstile
'Cause she's superstitious
She thought she'd be famous
And tell me if I'm wrong
But her picture should distract some playmen
Yeah maybe you'll be lucky enough
To hear her sing on Sunday"

"She was a true blue bird, A traveler
She left her home post for the West Coast
With a guitar and a bar of soap for 'ole San Francisco

Well she landed in a flat with some fellas that were lucky to meet her
'Cause she can play the six-string better than
This much you can bet her"
