Title: Heart Shaped Box
Album: In Utero
Tabbed by: Luke Tebbutt
Email: Musicboffin@aol.com
Website: http://www.musicboffin.net
Tuning: Drop D then down a semitone (eg Db, Ab, Db etc.)
Well, after getting fed up with the crap transcriptions
about, I have finally got round to tabbing it all out
properly. This is a great song, very simple, but good.
I have tabbed this on an acoustic, so there may be a few
errors, but I'll let you sort them out if they bother you
that much. There are 2 guitars in this song, I'm just
tabbing one out, but its not hard for the second one (I'm
just lazy!) Enjoy...
Here we go!

Lyrics:
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Well, there it is. 1 Guitar part and lyrics. If you want the second part, tab
it yourself or buy the In Utero book.
Enjoy and goto:
