This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Quite an old Coral song, as they go anyway, but I've only really started liking
it after I realised the video was based on a film called the wicker man, and
realising the song was actually decent. anyway, standard tuning, may not be
entirely right, but give it a try and you can always put corrections up right!
Main riff, sometimes it doesn't slide the last time but most
of the time it seems to.
|--------------------- |--------------------- |-4-4-7-4-6-6-6/7\6/7- |--------------------- |--------------------- |---------------------
Verse
|-7-7------- |-8-8------- |-----6h7p6- |----------- |----------- |-----------
seems to me that for the verse one guitar is playing the higher part above,
and a second guitar is playing a variation of the intro riff which I think
sounds like what I've put below.
|----------------------- |----------------------- |-4-4-7-4-------6-6-7-6- |---------7-7-7--------- |----------------------- |-----------------------
Chorus (strum out the chords)
|----3------------------5---------------3-----------------5-- |----3------------------5---------------3-----------------5-- |----4------------------6---------------4-----------------6-- |----5------------------7---------------5-----------------7-- |----5------------------7---------------5-----------------7-- |------------------------------------------------------------
Goodbye, don't say goodbye, I'd rather die, than say goodbye
Break
|--------------------- |--------------------- |-4-4-7-4-6-6-6/7\6/7- |--------------------- |--------------------- |---------------------

|-7-7------- |-8-8------- |-----6h7p6- |----------- |----------- |----------- |----------------------- |----------------------- |-4-4-7-4-------6-6-7-6- |---------7-7-7--------- |----------------------- |-----------------------

Goodbye, don't say goodbye, I'd rather die, than say goodbye
Outro
|------ |------ |-9--7- |-9--7- |-7--5- |------
then one guitar does these in like a ska kind of way
|-x-3-x-3-x-3-x-3-x-3- |-x-3-x-3-x-3-x-3-x-3- |-x-4-x-4-x-4-x-4-x-4- |-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5- |-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5- |---------------------
then the lead comes in with something around this, it's too messy for me to
totally hear right so I've tried to tab out the start of it for you and then
just build around it with a load of notes everywhere.
|--------------------------------- |---------------------------------
|-4-6/7\6/7--6/7\6/7-9--7h9p7p5h7-
