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

tabbed by tom kelly(tuhu27@hotmail.com

--/- means repeat last bar

-/-- i used it for the acoustic bit

/--*

unsure about this note

prechorus:

e|------  --------------------------
B|------  -------------------------- 2nd guitar plays the
G|------  -------------------------- A string part, 1st
D|--7---  -------------------------- plays just A chord
A|--7---  ----7~---6~---4~---2~-----
E|--5---  --------------------------

bridge:

1st guitar

e|----------------------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------------------------
G|--13--11s10--8s6--8----6-----13--11s9--------------6---8--
D|--------------------6-----------------11s9--11s14--6-6-8--
A|--11---9s8---6s4--6----4-----11---9s7--------------4-6-6--
E|--------------------4------------------9s7---9s12----4----

i think the 3 chords at the end are a second guitar. but if you are

on your own like me, play the last octave note at the 7th fret of the A

string, rather than at the 12th of the E string, it makes the jump a lot

smaller.

bridge: the other way to play it

E|--------------------4------------------------------4------

bridge: 2nd guitar

e|-----------------
B|-----------------   i'm not too sure about this.
G|--6-----9-------- you'll have to figure the timing
D|--6--6--9--9-----   out i dunno how to tab that.
A|--4--6--7--9-----
E|-----4-----7-----

finish on A:

e|-----      ----------------------
B|-----      ----------------------
G|-----      ----------------------
D|--7-- then ----------------------
A|--7--      --7~---6~---4~---2~---
E|--5--      ----------------------

Acoustic bit: this could take a while. i'll do both guitars.

G1 is basically the intro, and it doesn't really stray.

after a while he starts to strum more, but its the same thing the whole time.

full electrics now

G1 for 8 bars G2 comes in after 4 bars with:

e|---------------  ------------------------
B|---------------  ---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--
G|--6--4---------  ------------------------  for 4 bars
D|--6--4--7--4---  ---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--
A|--4--2--7--4---  ------------------------
E|--------5--2---  ------------------------

then is goes like this. i'm not certain here, but it sounds close.

its just hte chorus riff whit extra guitar 2.
