The Point of It All by Amanda Palmer
(From the record, "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" 2008)
This is actually the first tab that I've submitted to Ultimate-Guitar, but
I've written out a bunch on the Dresden Dolls Forum and also just for
friends when they want them. Enjoy and Please Critique if there's something
that's not right!
Standard Tuning (Ernie And Danny Gave Burt Eggs!), No Capo.

This is an extremely simple version of this song. Bass notes can be added,
just play the chords, and find a finger picking pattern that works well for
you and that you think sounds good!
Enjoy!

Intro Notes: D E C# D G F# D B x4

For those of you who don't know notes:
(High)E----------3-2------ (High)E---
B--3-5-2-3-----3-0-- B---
G------------------- G-2-
D------------------- x4 and then the last time add D---
A------------------- A---
(Low)E------------------- (Low)E---
** Every time it says 'Intro' in between verses, it means the above x4,
just like the beginning of the song, with the A added on the fourth time.
Intro Chords: D A G
D A G
Oh what a noble distinguished collection
D A G
of fine little friends you have made
D A G
hitting the tables without you again,
D A G
"no we'll wait no we promise we'll wait"
D A G
well June makes these excellent sewing machines
D A G
out of common industrial waste
D A G
she spends a few months at a time on the couch
D A G
but she's safe she wears shades she wears shades
Em A D A G
oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
Em A
and you're aces for coming along
D A G
you’re almost human, after all
Em A
and you’re learning that just ‘cause they call themselves friends
D A G
doesn’t mean they’ll call...
Em (A)
they made the comment in jest
Em
but you’ve got the needle
Em A
i guess that’s the point of it all
Intro
D A G
maybe a week in the tropics would help
D A G
to remind you how nice life can be
D A G
we propped you right up in a chair on a deck
D A G
with a beautiful view of the sea
D A G
but a couple weeks later we came back
D A G
and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
D A G
you had magically moved to the closet
D A G
eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been
Em A D A G
oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
Em A
and you’re aces for coming along
D A G
you’re almost human, after all
Em A
why on earth would i keep you propped up in here
D A
when you so love the
G
fall...?
Em (A)
the pattern’s laid out on the bed
Em (A)
with dozens of colors of thread
Em
but you’ve got the needle
Em A
i guess that’s the point in the end
Intro
D A G
but it’s better to waste your day watching the scenery
D A G
change at a comatose rate
D A G
than to put yourself in it and turn into one of those
D A G
cigarette ads that you hate
D A G
but while you were sleeping some men came around
D A G
said they had some dimensions to take
D A G
i’m not sure what they were talking about
D A G
but they sure made a mess of your face
Em A D A G
but still, no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
Em A
and you’re aces for playing along
D A G
you’re almost human, even now
Em A
and just ‘cause they call themselves experts
D A G
it doesn’t mean sweet fuck all...
Em (A)
they’ve got the permanent press
Em (A)
and the homes with a stable address
(always sounds awesome spoken without any background music)
and they’ve got excitement
and life by the fistful
but you’ve got the needle
i guess that’s the point of it all
Intro (The last time add an A that's an octave above that B)
Awesome song, Amanda Palmer is amazing. Long Live Punk Cabaret! --/
