Absent Treatment
Paul Williams
The easiest way to play this is capo on 2nd fret -- Then hit -2 on the site transpose function to get the chords relative to the capo and have no barre chords. But the below isn’t too hard even without a capo just watch those barred sevens. Incidentally I’m *least* confident in the chorus (I transcribed this by ear) so please correct me if wrong. [Intro: strum at half speed] [Verse 1] Sure I don’t drink so you might think that I ain’t never gone But when my song comes on I dance like I’m wasted I dance like I’m wasted I might be stupid but I’m far from being crazy doe But when I hit that floor I dance like I’m wasted I dance like I’m wasted No degrees of separation between my socks and bathroom floor Suddenly I’m Kevin Bacon and it’s nineteen eightyfour [Chorus] You know it’s on tonight and you’re gone tonight You got a lot of people telling you lies (you lies) You’re gone tonight and that’s alright with me Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh [percussion interlude for 1 bar! Knocking or tapping your fingers and thumb HARD at 8th notes works] [Verse 2] So now I’m sippin’ on this Fanta all up in my cup ’Cause I find beer quite yuck but I dance like I’m wasted I dance like I’m wasted And I’ve been literally just eating Hi-Chew all day long The strawberry lingers on so come here and taste it Girl come here and taste it N.C. Nah f that Vous ne trouverez jamais un gars qui a une faible estime de soi Mais si vous êtes à la recherche de l’homme parfait: c’est moi [Chorus] You know it’s on tonight and you’re gone tonight You got a lot of people telling you lies (you lies) You’re gone tonight and that’s alright with me Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh [Bridge] Where are all my sentimental girls who like Vampire Weekend and picnics in the park Sentimental girls who don’t talk ’bout dick size ’cause that sh*ts kinda yuck Sentimental girls who don’t have no Tinder and have good taste in art Sentimental girls who don’t watch ’Miranda’ ’cause that show sucks so hard Nelson girl. You’re just a Nelson girl Spoiled little Nelson girl. Man I love these Nelson girls [Chorus] You know it’s on tonight and you’re gone tonight You got a lot of people telling you lies (you lies) You’re gone tonight and that’s alright with me Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh You know it’s on tonight and you’re gone tonight You got a lot of people telling you lies (you lies) You’re gone tonight and that’s alright with me Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh Ooooo-oooooh [high synth ditty] oooooo-ooooh
