This is yet another song that people just can`t seem to get the grasp of.
It`s actually really, REALLY easy, if you tune your guitar properly.
Drop all the strings 1/2 step to Eb tuning, then drop the low E string so
that it`s tonality is Db. Really easy.
I`m gonna assume that you are either familiar with the song or you own a
copy of it.
Tuning: Eb dropped to Db
Low to high: Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb

Lyrics:
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I`ve been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I`ve drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey!
Wait!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate!
Haight!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice...
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself angel`s hair and baby`s breath
Broken hymen of your highness I`m left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Hey!
Wait!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate!
Haight!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice...
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I`ve been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I`ve drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey!
Wait!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate!
Haight!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I`ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice...Your advice...
Your advice...Your advice...
