<< Back to of Montreal Song List
Version 1
I found that the other tabs for this song were all bad, so I went and found them out
by listening to the song. This is my first solo tab, so if it's bad, my contact info is at
bottom.
Tuning: Half step down.
F Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl,
Bb
Wish you were born a girl,
A Gm
So I could've been your boyfriend.
C Dm Bb
I know it's not possible now.
F C A Gm
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you.
F Am Bb
And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day,
A Gm
Or at least until the afternoon
C Dm Bb
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
F C A Gm
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem.
F Am Bb
And then when you got sick, I could take the day off work.
A Gm C Dm
I could've made you chicken soup, And we could watch soap operas
Bb F C
- oh, those TV dramas! I could catch your cold
A Gm
and you could take care of me.
Am F Bb
mmmmmm, If I could've met you at school, or met you at work,
Gm
It would have changed everything.
C F Bb
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity,
Gm
They would have been shared,
Am Bb
they would have been ea-si-er, oh-
F Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl,
Bb
Wish you were born a girl,
A Gm
So I could've been your fiancé.
C Dm Bb
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me,
F C F
But it's just not the same because you're a man, and so am I

On the solo, he sort of slides, but I can't pinpoint exactly where, so listen to the
song to see how he does it.
