Tab

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

Song

Chords:

Em D A G

-7---x--------- I like to play the rhythm parts

-8---7---5---3- using barchords,

-9---7---6---4- but open chords sound fine too.

-9---7---7---5-
-7---5---7---5-
---------5---3-

Intro/ Verse

Em D

Em D

A A

Chorus:

G D

G A

It's that simple, here's all the lead tab:

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

INTRO and VERSE

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

* The Rhythm Part is just as important as the lead to give the song that swing feel.

* The rhythm parts are played clean, but a tiny amount of overdrive might sound good.

* For the lead parts, I use a very light distortion.

* No riff plays over the "A" Chord, the lead is silent here. But there is an A Octave

in later verses that you can add.

Drum and single guitar only.

For that lead fill on the second G, I just play these few notes:

Then play a normal chorus
