Psycho Killer  Talking Heads

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Okay, the version that was posted about two hours ago is the
 one available at animal-farm with the bad French, the wrong
 story about the second verse, and one chord per verse. I've
 been promising to improve the version Paul Zimmerman originally
 posted for a while now; it's just taken a little longer than I
 had thought.
 
 Thanks to all who contributed to the French corrections and
 translation. I was worrying that I'd get 5 different versions,
 but almost all the replies agreed, so I think we can put this
 version of the French down as pretty close to authoritative.
 
 The second verse is the same on my studio version and on
 Stop Making Sense, and I put that verse in sequence. The other
 verse (reproduced with chords at the end of the file) is, I think,
 from the accoustic demo version of PK that is widely available on
 ROIOs.
 
 This is my arrangement--I've tried to incorporate the bass, etc.
 into one guitar line, so of course this will not be identical to
 the guitar on the record.

 Based on what I've read about this song, this tab looks really good!
