"Cheerleader"
by St. Vincent
At the time of this post, there were no accurate tabs/chords for this song on the
internet, so I decided to serve the people with my first post. This song can be
found on St. Vincent�s album �Strange Mercy� or the awesome video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEY9GJAm8bA.
"Anything we can do to raise consciousness and help end the oppression of women
worldwide is a cause I am fully behind. I chose the track 'Cheerleader' because I
think it speaks to not wanting to be an idle object anymore. It�s about taking
control of your own life and not kowtowing to the desires of others."
- St. Vincent (Annie Clark)
It�s not exactly a beginner�s song but as long as you know your major and minor
bar chords and the note names on the guitar, you�ll be good to go. Please enjoy,
although stripped of it�s glorious effects.

With some bad guys

I've told whole lies

With a half smile

Held your bare bones

That hit both my arms

I don't know what good it serves

Pouring my purse in the dirt

But for you I could work

Cause I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
