"Softer. Softest"

Hole

MTV Unplugged in New york City/ Live Through This

this song is also known as "Pee Girl"



Ok, to give out the "Credit in the straight world", I wasn't/am not the first



one to post the chords for Eric's part, I really am not, I had this thing 

printed from a long time ago and it's no longer on the song list in the Olga 

thing but I didn't print out the part of the person's name which posted them 

first, but I was DEFINITLY not, I am, though, the one to post "Courtney's 

parts". But, another person posted Eric's parts so, I shouldn't get all the 

credit for this.

Eric's parts,

Eric Erlandson is my favorite of the band Hole, I find his role in their 

music very immportant since he is lead guitar, so I'm posting his parts for 

this song; (for the second time)



 -This part: Remove middle finger from 'e' string slowly and put it back on 

the 3rd fret while palying, play softly-



Verse #1;

G                                                G

                               G

I tell you everything          I hope that you won't tell on mee-e-e-e

G                                                       G

                                     G

And I'd give you anything       I know that you won't tell on mee-e-e-e



-This part, after hitting the 'G' string on "..belt" upstring, do the same 

for melt, sour, et cetra, et cetra.



Chorus #1;

    A         C        G

The Pee Girl Gets the belt

A          C              G     

Your milk makes me me-e-e-elt

 A        C        G

Your milk is so sour

Baby, I can only cower

I can only cower

And I can only cower

You have all the power

Verse #2

#2nd Chorus

Bridge

#3rd Chorus



Bridge;

D             C5         G5

Burn the witch, the bitch,

She's dead

D                C5

You burn the witch

G5

Just bring me back her head





Courtney's Parts

Since "Softer. Softest" was recorded originally in a studio and this is the 

Unplugged version, the Live Through This version is softer and more vocal, 

this is Courtney's parts for this song;



-Courtney upstrings A LOT! If you play guitar often like me then I guess you 

have probably gotten used to upstringing on a lot of their songs, unless you 

play clean versions, but oh, well, this is from the Unplugged.-



G          Cadd9  G           Cadd9     G                  Cadd9    G

I give you every-thing          I hope  you give it back to mee-e-e-e

G              G Cadd9   G                  Cadd9  G     Cadd9     G

I told you every-thing                Just, never tell on mee-e-e-e

   A         Cadd9       G

The Pee Girl Gets the belt

A         Cadd9             G     

Your milk makes me me-e-e-elt

 A       Cadd9    G

Your milk is so sour

Baby, I can only cower

You have all the power

I can only cower

You have all the power



Those are her 3 chords which she plays through out the song, she doesn't play

anything during the bridge.



And that's about it, 

the lyrics are;



I give you everything, 

I hope you give it back to me

I told you everything,

Just, never tell on me

The Pee Girl gets the belt

Your milk makes me melt

Your milk is so sour

Baby, I can only cower

You have all the power

And I can only cower

You have all the power

I've gotta blister from, 

Touching everyone I see

The abyss opened up, 

It took everything from me

The Pee Girl gets the belt

Your milk makes me melt

Your milk is so so sick

Baby, your milk has a dick (said as "dye")

Your milk has a dick

Your milk has a dick (said as "dye")

Your milk has a dick

Burn the Witch, The bitch,

She's dead

You burn the witch

Just bring me back her head

The Pee Girl gets the belt

Your milk makes me melt

Your milk is so mean

Baby, your milk turns to cream (said as "cry" at every other line)

Your milk turns to cream

Your milk turns to cream (cry)

Your milk turns to cream

 -screamed-

Your milk turns to cream

Your milk turns to cream

Your milk turns to cream 

Your milk turns to cream

Your milk turns to cream

Your milk turns to cream

-sang softly-

Your milk turns to cream

Your milk turns to cream



This song was written about Courtney, when she was younger people would call 

her "Pee Girl" b/c she smelt like pee. It's actually a really sad song when 

you think about it.
