Plastic Fantastic Lover Jefferson Airplane
Great proto-punk song by Jefferson Airplane, originally on SURRREALISTIC PILLOW (1967)
later a spectacular live version on BLESS ITS POINTED LITTLE HEAD (1968). The only other
on the internet is extremely inaccurate, and I'm sure this tab is perfect.

Verse:
[C#m]Her neon mouth with the blinking soft smile

[C#m]You could say she has an individual style
[C#m]Sheâ??s part of a colorful time
Chorus:
[Am]Super-sealed lady, c[D]hrome-color clothes
[Em]You wear 'cause you [D]have no other
[Am]But I suppose [D]no one knows
[B]You're my plastic fantastic lover
Repeat Intro
Verse 2:
[C#m]Your rattlin' cough never shuts off
[C#m]Is nothin' but a used machine
[C#m]Your aluminum finish, slightly diminished
[C#m]Is the best I ever have seen
Chorus 2:
[Am]Cosmetic baby [D]plugged into me
[Em]And never ever [D]find another
[Am]And I realize n[D]o one's wise
[B]To my plastic fantastic lover

[Em]Science is mankind's [D]brother
[Am]But all I see is [D]drainin' me
[B]On my plastic fantastic lover
