NOTES:
1. As featured live here. ”After a five year break, 2012 saw Garbage back in the spotlight with a new 
studio album 'Not Your Kind Of People' followed by their first world tour for seven years. Filmed on 
this tour at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Colorado on October 6, 'One Mile High... Live' is the first 
ever digital release of a full Garbage live concert….”

2. “…The most electronic based song on the album, "Milk" is also one of singer Shirley Manson's 
favourite tracks from it. She told Melody Maker "It's a dichotomy, a paradox. The thing I really 
like about "Milk" is the fact that it's been dismissed by people as the ballad at the end of the album. 
To me "Milk" is the darkest, most hopeless of the songs. People say 'Oh, it's lovey-dovey, 
so therefore it's a love song'. But it's a very bleak song, it's about loss and the fear of loss; 
about things you can't have and things you will forever wait for.” …”  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_%28song%29
3.  I was motivated to simply TAB this song, which I really like although it is ‘blue’, as none had 
the correct phrasing, matched to the actual chords.  Notably, the softly refrained background choruses
(dah-dah-duh), are nearly inaudible. :-R
