E|E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|| 20 Years In The Dakota by Hole
E|E|-----------------------------------------------------------------||
There are quite a few bass fills in this, but they consist solely of the root notes of the guitar parts,
so they are easy to figure out and play on guitar accordingly. I've only mapped the guitar portions as they
appear in the album recording.

She spent 20 years in the Dakota
Every single day was black in the Dakota
Riot girls think you stop it
You're forever in her debt
Well, I know you haven't saved me
And you haven't saved her yet
She spent 20 years like a virus
They want to burn the witches inside us
Woah, yeah, you don't fuck with the Fabulous Four
Or you'll spend the rest of your life
Picking things up off the floor
[Pre-chorus]

This is the the story, this is the story of someone's wife
Been in black pools her whole life
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, I don't remember, I forget)
[Bass fill]
Oh baby, dry your dirty eyes
My water breaks like turpentine

Hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Are they coming for me? Are they coming soon?
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
[Bass fill outro]
Hey Jude, hey Jude
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Are they coming for me, Judy Judy, are they coming soon?

The pee-girl burns to be the bride
Your ever-lovely suicide
(I haven't live there yet,
I don't remember, I forget)
Hey nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
I don't remember, I forget
