YOU OUGHTA KNOW            ALANIS MORISSETTE

KEY OF A


5  -4   5   4   4
I want you to know 

  4   5   -4  5  4   4
that I'm hap-py for you 

5  -4   5    4   4
I wish noth-ing but 

 4   -4   -4  -4  -3b
the best for you both 

-6b -6b -6b -5  -6b -5 -6b
An  old-er ver-sion of me 

 5  5   5   -5 -6b  -5 -6b
Is she per-ver-ted like me 

   5   5   5  -5 -6b  -5 -6b -6 -5 5  5
Would she go down on you in  a the-a-ter 

 5    5    5   -5 -6b -5  -6b
Does she speak el-o-quent-ly 

 5    5    5   -5   -6b -5 -6b
And would she have your ba-by 

 5    5    5    -5 -6b -6b -5 -6b -5  -6   -5  5
I'm sure she'd make a real-ly ex-cel-lent mother 

(CHORUS)

   -5   -5  -5b  -5   -5  -5   -5b -5b -5b
'Cause the love that you gave that we made 

 5   5  5  -4 -4  -4  4  4   4
Was-n't a-ble to make it e-nough 

 -3  -3 -3b -3b -3 4    4  -6b
for you to  be  o-pen wide, no

 5  -5 -5  -5  -5b  -5b   5   5
And ev-ry time you speak her name 

 -4  -4   -4   4   4   -3  -3  -3   -3b -3b
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me 

-3b -3 -6b  -6b    -5 -6b  -6b
Un-til you died, 'til you died 

-6b    7     -6 -6  -6b
But you're still a-live 

-6b  -7   7 -6b -6b -7   7
And I'm here to re-mind you 

-6b -6b  -7  7   -6   -6b -6b  -6  7  7
Of the mess you left when you went a-way 

 -6b  -7   7 -6b -6b -7  7
It's not fair to de- ny me 

-6b -6b  -7 -7   7   -6b -6b   7  -7 -7
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me 

-6b  -6b  -6b  -6b -7  7
You, you, you ough-ta know 

VERSE 2 same as 1

You seem very well, things look peaceful 
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know 
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity 
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner 
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced 
Are you thinking of me when you Fuck her 

(CHORUS TWICE TO END)

ENJOY!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
