Medicine Jar Lyrics
by Skid Row
Notes
+ Intro part 2/Chorus: There are two possible styles; maybe Dave plays one version and Scottie plays the other
Go with what is comfortable.
+ Chorus: the last chord hammer-on is actually the start of the verse.
It is played immediately before the first spoken lyric.
+ Lead lines: I gave it my best shot, but I know it is not even 90% correct.
Please add fixes as you play through so we can get this 100% correct.
+ Rhythm Verses: same as the Intro. I took off the hammer-ons to keep the tab clean.
+ Solo and Intro Leads: Scottie uses an effect that I don't have access to,
so I made my best guess as to the actual guitar note. My best guess is that the effect is an Harmonizer set at a 3rd+.
+ PH: means Pinch Harmonics

Rhythm
Both Guitars
Caught the mother jack knifin' A little bit low lifin' Goin'
twenty paces with the Medicine Man
Runnin' from the girl in pigskin A little gun shy but shootin'
Hidin' in the kitchen with his head in his hand
Bleed, me, why can't you say what you mean?
Both Guitars x4
How far has it gone, it didn't take you long
To put your hand in the medicine jar
In your private hell, now you've found yourself
In the hands of the medicine jar
Lead
PH-----
Sittin' here with all your bitchin' Cookin' up a new addiction
Lead
Prayin' that the light of day ain't wakin' the dead
Lead
Droppin' like a bomb on Hiro Shakin' like San Francisco
Only to be diggin' out to do it again
Bleed, me, why can't you say what you mean?
Both Guitars x3
How far has it gone, it didn't take you long
To put your hand in the medicine jar
In your private hell, now you've found yourself
Rhythm
In the hands of the medicine jar

How far has it gone, it didn't take you long To put your hand in the medicine jar
In your private hell, now you've found yourself In the hands of the medicine jar

One step from bein' free, what did you think
