SOFTER, SOFTEST by Hole
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Low key ballad track from 1994's Live Through This. It builds to a crescendo and uses
some standard chords and selective strumming on individual strings. The album version is
hard to pin down because there's a lot going on between the two guitars and the bass,
but if you play it this way it sounds pretty damn close. None of the tabs on here seem very
accurate so I figured I'd give my two cents.
Tuning: Standard
Played clean except where noted

I tell you everything
I hope that you won't tell on me
And I'd give you anything
I hope that you won't tell on me

Pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me mind
Your milk is so sour
And I can only cry
And I can only cower
And I can only cry
You have all the power
