"Doll Skin" by The Toadies
I'm a big Toadies fan and this is one their best.
I hope this effort is close to what they play.
The bass line goes something like this:
A---------------4---------------------9-7---4--------
E-0-0-0-0-0-0-4---5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-----5---5-5-5-5
The lead guitar is too much work and effort for me.
The rhythm guitar is pretty much the same as the bass line.
Just play power chords on those strings except for the little 9-7
deal near the end of the riff. I like to play the full chords when
I'm on acoustic.

In the middle of a house, in the middle of nowhere
Bodies glide from room to room
I hate these walls.......They speak to me
Hey skin like a doll, You're no friend of the family

Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
Crawls in and tells them
B A
when their time is up

And when it's over

He takes her hand, and he kisses her cheek
She's a doll, oh yeah she's his spitting image
When you're gone, You're still a part of me
Hey skin like a doll, You're no friend of the family
C# B E
Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
It crawls in and tells them
B A
when their time is up
G#
and when it's over
And now it's over........

When you're gone
You're still a part of me.
The End.
