Last Cigarette (Boo Hewerdine)

------------------------------

This is on Boo Hewerdine's third album, Baptist Hospital. Written by Boo

Hewerdine, Gary Clarke and Neill MacColl. It's played in A (capo at 2nd fret).

All the below is written as though played in G (at the nut), so add 2 to all

the tab sections if you're using a capo.

* is actually Guitar2 (electric), but you can get away with it on

Guitar1 if you hit it hard

? is actually piano, but it works on Guitar1

/ is a slide up

\ is a slide down

~~~ is vibrato

Struming: The Intro & the first line of the verse's bassline is G B D B, so

hold the shape of the G chord throughout, but accentuate the 6th 5th 4th 5th

strings. The rest of the verse follows a similar strumming pattern, except you

don't vary the bass note.

Here's the instrumental bits written out in A (i.e. this is what you play if

you're using a capo at the 2nd fret)
