Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

A few things... 
(1). Each space is a sixteenth note (e.i. four spaces equal a 
quarter note) 
(2). This song uses the regular E,A,D,G,B,E tuning (E,B,G,D,A,E 
if you prefer) 
(3). This song sounds nice both w/ an electric (clean) and an 
acoustic. I'm not sure about a 12-string (cause I don't 
have one!!!)

Ironic

From the album, "Jagged Little Pill"

Words and music by Alanis Morissette 

-------------------------------------------

[Laboriously typed up by Mardi Gras(TNT)]


Notes: If there are spacing errors... That's because I didn't type all this up on a PC or Mac! Requires a minimum of 2 guitars. Guitar 1 plays the intro rhythm where required and the sections where the chords are shown above the lyrics. Guitar 2 handles all the rhythm figures and adds the boost in the song by accompanying Guitar 1 with some of the chords in the chorus sections. Ideally, Guitar 1 should be acoustic and Guitar 2 should have a switch between a soft neck postion sound and distortion.
The chords in verse 1 are to be played really softly and smoothly, almost sweep picking the strings. In verse 3, Guitar 1 plays the chords shown, but this time adding a lot of palm muting between chord changes (listen to the track). Later on in verse 3, on the part where "And isn't it ironic... etc..." is sung, Guitar 1 arpeggiates the chords instead of just strumming the chords (again, listen to the track). 


Tablature explanation:

F# B F# G#m
A traffic jam when you are already late


F# B F# G#m
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break


F# B F# G#m
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife


(No instruments on these last two lines) 

It's like meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

(Bongo drums Fill-in)



F# B F# G#m
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?


F# B F# G#m
A little too ironic... And yeah I really do think...



Chorus: (Repeat chorus as before)





Coda: (Play the intro 1 rhythm throughout this part)

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out... Helping you out

(Cymbals and ending on guitars)

(I suggest you end on the intro 2 rhythm s-l-o-w-l-y)


That's about it for Ironic. There is only so much that can be explained in words. I suggest you just listen to the track. The song itself is fairly easy and sounds great when played with a band. I'm fairly sure that what I have tabbed out is accurate to the track on the album. There may be small errors here and there, so corrections are all welcome.

You Oughta Know
Alanis Morrissette

B A 
I want you to know that I'm happy for you.
B A
I wish nothing but the best for you both.
F#
Another version of me;
A
Is she preverted like me?
B A
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
F#
Does she speak eloquently?
A
And would she have your baby?
B A
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.

B
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
B A
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No,
B
and everytime you speak her name

does she know how you told me you'd hold me
B A 
until you died? `Til you died,
A
but you're still alive.

F# E
And I'm here to remind you
A B
of the mess you left when you went away.
F# E
It's not fair to deny me
A B
of the cross I bare that you gave to me.
B
You, you, you oughta know.

You seem very well. Things look peaceful.
I'm not quite as well. I thought you should know.
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner.
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced,
and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No,
and everytime you speak her name
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
until you died? `Til you died,
but you're still alive.

B-A (2) , F#-A-B-A (2), (signs and moans)
____
Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me,
and I'm not gonna fade
as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it.
And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it. Can you feel it?

lyrics by Alanis Morissette

The chords for this song were posted by [email protected]
(Robert Smith) and what I have done is to add the correct lyrics,
Alanis1s little interlude, and place all of it in the right place in
chord pro [email protected] 

[Gm] I want you to know that I'm happy for you.
I wish nothing but the [C] best for you both.
An older v[Gm]ersion of me;
Is she preverted like me?
Would she go d[C]own on you in a theatre?
Does she speak el[Gm]oquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure sh[C]e'd make a really excellent mother.

[Gm] 'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be [C] open wide. No!
And [Gm] everytime you speak her name
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
un[C]til you died? `Til you died,
but you're still alive.

Chorus:
[C] And I'm [G] here to re[F]mind you
of the [Bb] mess you left when you [C] went away.
It's not [G] fair to de[F]ny me
of the [Bb] cross I bare that you [C] gave to me.
You, you, you oughta [G] know.

[Gm] You seem very well, things look peaceful.
I'm not quite as well. I th[C]ought you should know.
Did you f[Gm]orget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to b[C]ug you in the middle of dinner.
It was a sl[Gm]ap in the face how quickly I was replaced.
Are you th[C]inking of me when you fuck her?

[Gm] 'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be [C] open wide. No!
And [Gm] everytime you speak her name
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
un[C]til you died? `Til you died,
but you're still alive.

Chorus

Interlude:
(You need to listen to the album to get this part right vocally.
It1s moaning and sighing with an 3Ahhh2 sound
It should be repeated about 4 times, gaining speed each time):
G F C Gmodal

[Gm] Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me,
and I'm not gonna fade
as soon as you cl[C]ose your eyes, and you know it.
And [Gm] everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you f[C]eel it. Can you feel it?
