Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos on 22 August 1963 in Newton, North Carolina, United States) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter.
Having already begun composing instrumental pieces on piano, Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, the youngest person ever to have been admitted, at age five. She was expelled at age eleven for, in her own words, insisting on playing by ear and because of her interest in popular rock music.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Ok. Let's get a few things straight. First of all, you need to strum this, not pick it. You need to tune down a half-step, but I'm just going to call them by what they would normally be. Here are the chords needed to play this song. Some of the timing is kinda weird, but that is a given in most Tori Amos songs. You can listen to the song to get all the timing and also to get the exact structure.

Ok. That's it. If you're tuned a half-step down, then I guarantee you that this is the closest you can come to having a perfect guitar tab for this song. Unlike some of these morons I see everywhere, I don't submit a tab unless I know it's right. Questions, comments, or requests....Email me @ [email protected]
