These chords are not necessarily correct, I picked all this up
by ear, so I could be wrong.  If you find errors, or want to
make any other comments, please e-mail me.  This is a great
song - thanks to STP for it, and hope you enjoy playing it!

(note: Am here can have the 9th added for emphasis, to Am9,
and barre chords can be substituted for different effect...
I have not tabbed out all the barre chords above - if you can
play them, you probably know them already)

E  F#m  G  F#m  x2
E              F#m
She lives in a bungalow
    G             F#m         E
She kills me with rose garden thorns
    F#m       G   F#m
She waits for me
E            F#m
My love is unusual
     G            F#m       E
it's painted with roses and thorns
     F#m        G  F#m
with her I'm complete


Chorus:
Am  D     Dsus4 D   C/G
She lives by    the wall
    D     Dsus4 D   Am
And waits by    the door
    D     Dsus4 D   C/G
She walks in    the sun
   D11
To me
Am  D     Dsus4 D   C/G
She lives by    the wall
    D     Dsus4 D   Am
And waits by    the door
    D     Dsus4 D   C/G
She walks in    the sun
   D11
To me


E          F#m      G
Visions of Mexico seduce me
   F#m        E       F#m    G   F#m
it goes to my head so carefully
E           F#m         G
Memories of candles and incense
    F#m          E
and all of these things...
  F#m    G    F#m
remember these?

Chorus

Bm  G           F#m
She comforts me when
    G            D
the candles blow out
    C/G            Bb
The cake has grown mold
                     Em
but the memories are sweet
                   Bb
The laughter's all gone
                     Em
but the memories are mine
            Bb
The Mexican princess is
          Em
out of my life

(play arpeggiation total of seven times over lyrics...
play normal chord progression for chorus if playing chords)
Repeat, fade out...

 

 Atlanta by Stone Temple Pilots
Scott Weiland, Robert DeLeo, Dean DeLeo, Eric Kretz
Tabbed by Brady McCherry, greatest bassist with the biggest unit

this song is in a more of a slow waltzy, swingy beat. I'm guessing 6/8
timing. The only way
to desribe it is as STP. You'll have to listen to the song to figure it out
cause i had to
sit down to learn it to write it down for you lazy people.
