This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

e-mail: atr_pooler@yahoo.com

Tuning: Standard

Ok I'd say this tab is about 85% correct. There are a lot of chords

that took me a while to figure out in the song, but I think I'm

pretty close. I can promise you that this is closer than just about

anything else you'll find for this song on the internet without having

to download crap.

This song is in the key of E.

Beginning lick:

e--------------------------9-------------------------------------7----------|
b-----------7-7-9p7-9-9/10---9p7-9-7~-------------7-7-9p7-9-9/10---9p7------|
g-8-8-9p8-9-----------------------------8-8-9p8-9----------------------9-8~-|
d---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
a---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is the part I'm the most unsure of, but it's still pretty close.

b-7-5-5-------------|
g-8-6-6-------------|Play 2
d-------9-6-4/6-7-1-|times

Main verse riff:

This is occasionally played during verses:

g-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-|

d-------------|-------------|-------------|--play-------|--play-------|-------------|

a-------------|-------------|-------------|--twice------|--twice------|-------------|

E-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

At the end of each verse this is played:

e-----------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------|
g-----------------------------------------|
d-----------------------------------------|
a-----------------------------------------|
E-0-2-4-2-0-2-0---0-2-4-2---0-2-4-2-0-2-0-|

During the chorus they just play fills(which I couldn't hear well

enough to tab out), but these are the main chords.

B A E

I...singer. I...foreign lands

e--------------------------|
b--------------------------|
g------------------------9-|
d-9------------7---------9-|
a-9------------7---------7-|
E-7------------5-----------|

And that covers the entire song. Just apply these parts to the

appropriate sections of the song.
