Written by Beat Happening/Germs
Tabbed by: Scott
Tuning: EADGBE
Hole's hybrid cover of Beat Happening's 'Hot Chocolate Boy' and the Germs' punk classic
'Forming', from their EP, 'Ask For It'. Not sure why the song is titled in the order it
is, as 'Hot Chocolate Boy' comes before 'Forming'. I'm presuming that the part played by
Guitar 1 is Courtney Love, and Guitar 2 is Eric Erlandson, but I could be wrong.

He's always waiting
Gotta make the move to tell her
Hot chocolate boy
He's never met one
Hot chocolate wet one
Hot chocolate boy
Deep, sweet, and bitter
Spoons and a plate for breakfast
Hot chocolate boy
Hot, frosty, creamy
He was only dreaming
Then play this before launching into 'Forming'...

Rip them down
Hold me up
Tell them that
I'm your gun
Pull my trigger
I am bigger than...
I'm bigger than...

Don't know where
In his big white house
Step on them
We're coming out
You know what it means to alone
Empty
Hold them down
Hold me up
Tell them that
I'm your gun
Pull my trigger
I am bigger than...
I'm bigger than...
I'm bigger than...
