Chord Orchid by Alanis Morissette

okay , so this is the first song i’ve tabbed myself and i fear the possibility thatit may turn out to be an epic failure as far as tabs are concerned . i really love this absolutely beautiful and brilliant song so much . i’m really just a singer , but i like to dabble in acoustic guitar to have something to sing over . i’ve been searching for this song for ages and i haven’t been able to find a live video performance or a written tab for it . so in my desperation , i resorted to using my ear , hehe . corrections , criticisms and/or advice on tabbing is highly encouraged , though i would appreciate politeness! : - D this is my first time after all! transcribed by : kate - luaeria@yahoo . com artist : alanis morissette album : flavours of entanglement song : orchid notes : standard tuning , w/0 capo . intro G Em x2 verse 1 G Em me and my helmet G Em such an unconventional kid G Em all intense and kinetic Am D at best , tolerated from afar verse 2 G Em not yet arrested G Em and by that , i mean betrothed G Em though at start , i Am duly courted Am D i’ve just not been trusted with altars chorus 1 G Em i’m a sweet piece of work G Em well intentioned , yet disturbed Am C wrongly labeled and underfed Am D treated like a rose as an orchid G Em x2 . . . . . . . interlude . . . . . . . . . . verse 3 G Em my friends as they weigh in G Em get understandably protective G Em they have a hard time being objective Am D so inside we cancel each other out chorus 2 G Em i’m a sweet piece of work G Em well intentioned , and unnerved Am C enabled and misunderstood Am D treated like a rose as an orchid middle eight G Bm you’ve brought water to me G Bm making sure my bloom rebounds G Bm you know best of what my special care allows . . . verse 3 G Em so i’ve lived in my blind spot G Em thought myself usual when i’m not G Em in your garden is a nice spot Am D as long as it is brave and where you are chorus 3 G Em for this sweet piece of work G Em high maintenance and deserted Am C i’ve been different and deserving Am D treated like a rose as an orchid chorus 4 G Em sweet piece of work G Em overwhelmed , unobserved Am C i’ve been bowed down to but so misread Am D treated like a rose as an orchid ending G Em play to fade or end on G . . . ad lib vocal embellishments to fade or til final G . . . well , that’s all folks . please let me know if you have any feedback or corrections . i can be reached at luaeria@yahoo . com take care! kate
