From: kermit@news.winternet.com (Fred Gotfredson) "Pretty Penny" by Stone Temple Pilots Chords by Fred Gotfredson Allright, people were wondering about this song, and it is rather easy. * Both Guitar 1 and 2 are accoustic. * The ending chord on both guitars is an open E (as in the 1st Interlude for guitar 2 shown below) ------ Lyrics ------ (4 measure intro, w/ verse music) Have you seen your mother girl? Has she gone away? Gone away and found the pearl But the price she paid (Chorus:) Gone When you wake in the morning Gone When you find that there's no one sleeping Gone Pretty Penny was her name She was loved and we all will miss her How far will you go, I say Just to bait a mouse? Shorter lived and longer gone Can you figure out? (Chorus) (4 measures of verse music) (1st Interlude) (4 measures of verse music) Have you lost your sister girl? SHe's all but blown away blown away and lost the pearl And the price she paid Hmmmm... (4 measures of verse music during hmm) (2nd Interlude) (3 measures of verse music then open E ending chord) --------------- Verse- Guitar 1 --------------- *note* the music below is one measure.
