Subject: update to Criminal by Fiona Apple
I saw my transcription of Criminal by Fiona Apple on OLGA (it was my
first submission, so I was excited to see it) and realized I left a
chord out. Here's the updated version. People at OLGA: please replace
my last submission with this one. Thanks.
Song: Criminal
Artist: Fiona Apple
Transcription by Jake Schneider
Since this song has no recognizable guitar stuff, I decided to make my
own arrangement for guitar. Send comments/suggestions to:
jakester@centuryinter.net
There may be one discrepancy (I'm aware of it) in re: to the Cm
pentatonic bass groove being played and the guitar playing a C7 over top
of it. I tried playing a Cm/Cm7 chord but the C7 sounded better to me.
CRIMINAL FIONA APPLE
[C minor pentatonic bass groove] x 8 Guitar: C7
I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you ^Ñcause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin
What I need is a good defense
^Ñcause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Heaven help me for the way I am
save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
But I keep livin' this day like the next one will never come
Oh help me but don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies ^Ñtil I'm good enough for
him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin
chorus x1
[C minor pentatonic bass groove] x 4 Guitar: C7
Let me know the way before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play to make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know
chorus x2
*************************************************************************
Verses: [Am F7] x4
[C7 Bb7 F7] x1
[C7 Bb7 Am] x1
[C7 Bb7 Ab7 G7 F7 Ab7]
Chorus: [F7 C7] x2
[F7 C7 Bb7 Ab7 G7 F7]
Bridge: [Eb7 B7 Ab7 B7 Eb7 B7 Ab7] x2
*************************************************************************
footnote: I tried this version out with my band (we're a 3-piece: drums,
bass, & guitar-with a chick singer) and it worked out well! I think if
a band did this number "Unplugged" it would come across very 'cool' to
the audience.

I dont think I can get the Chorus any more dead on, listen very close to the song,
you will see my chorus should be almost dead on.

tab could be updated. This should now be the most accurate available tab for this
song! Have fun!!!!

For the dead notes, you can palm mute or do whatever you want it sounds good. Where you
see the (7b) that is a very light bend. Listen hard for that note, it is indeed there
and sounds correct when you listen very close.
