From the 1st time I heard that song live, I thought going back home, hum, I

need to find the chords...

So here it is...21 things I want in a lover (Tab)

The guitars are tuned 1/2 tone lower, so if you want to play with the music

and not lower your strings, then play the chords 1 step higher.

I am not sure for the names of the chords, but who cares?

Here's the intro, I believe the guys are using loads of effects (distortion

and flanger/chorus).

This is the intro:

e|--x--|        e|--x--|        e|--x--|        e|--x--|
B|--x--|        B|--x--|        B|--x--|        B|--x--|
G|--7--|        G|--7--|        G|--7--|        G|--7--|
D|--7--|        D|--6--|        D|--5--|        D|--4--|
A|--5--|        A|--5--|        A|--5--|        A|--5--|
E|--x--|        E|--x--|        E|--x--|        E|--x--|

There is also a picking bit while the heaving chords are played at about

0min55s. This is not accurate, but should give a pretty good idea on what to

play.

e|---------------9----------9----------|
B|------------10---13---------13-------|
G|---------11---------11---------11----|
D|---10/12---------------12------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
e|--9----------9--------13---------10--|
B|----13---------13-------------10-----|
G|------11---------11-------11---------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

Then, here comes the bridge:

e|-----------------------------------------||
B|------------10-----------10----------8---||
G|---------12-----------12----------10----o||
D|------12-----------12----------10-------o||
A|---10-----------10-----------8-----------||
E|-----------------------------------------||
e|---------------------------------------|
B|-----------10-----------10----------10-|
G|--------12-----------12----------10----|
D|-----12-----------12----------10-------|
A|--10-----------10-----------8----------|
E|---------------------------------------|
e|------------------------------------------||
B|------------8------------10---------------||
G|---------10-----------12-------------9----||
D|------10-----------12-------------10------||
A|----8-----------10-------------10---------||
E|-----------------------------8------------||
