     The Only Rape I Know by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never made it to official studio recordings, but they played this at live shows throughout 1991. 
Simple chord progression. Courtney plays the single
notes on the A string for the intro and then full-blown chords for the verses and  chorus. 
Tabbed by: Scott H.
Tuning: Standard

Shut up yeah, I hear you

You're only miles away
