ALL TAB PARTS WRITTEN RELATIVE TO CAPO ON FIRST

Verse:

At first the verse is dominated by the bass riff, Below

is a dodgy attepmt at the bass, it's not exact but the

notes used are the same so just mess it a bit to get it

sounding right.

Bass transcribed for guitar:

e:---------------------------------------------------|
B:--------------------------------------1------------|
G:------------0---------------------0------0---0-----|
D:-0--0-3-0-3---3-0---0----0-0--0-3---3------3---3-0-|
A:------------------3---3----------------------------|
E:---------------------------------------------------|

That is played a couple of times then an acoustic comes

in with this.

D# C#G#

e:-2-2-3-3-2-0-0-0-0-3-3------------------------|
B:-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3------------------------|
G:-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0------------------------|
D:----------------------------------------------|
A:----------------------------------------------|
E:----------------------------------------------|

You'll have to listen to the CD to get the timing, it's

not depicted at all in the above tab. Also use a mixture

of up and down strokes and muting in between notes to get

the right sound.

It then goes back to the bass in the first verse but goes to

the chorus in the second.

Pre-Chorus:

After the first verse there's a break before the chorus, I just

play the D# octave with effects and it sounds allright.

e:----------------------------------------------|
B:-------3-------------3--------------3---------| as many times

G:----------------------------------------------| as needed.

D:-0--0--------0---0--------0----0--------------|
A:----------------------------------------------|
E:----------------------------------------------|

Chorus:

the chorus is just

D#--------C#--G#--

end on D#

use barre chords or the open capoed chords for the chorus,

whatever you think sounds better.
