I first heard this track live at Portsmouth Guildhall, and thought i'd try to learn it. couldn't find a tab anywhere, so I was forced to listen to the song repeatedly untill i play it. I thought I may as well try and get a little credit for my efforts and be the first to post this tab enjoy - vincent webb Capo: 4th fret (note: tabbed as though there is no capo, so 0 on bottom E would sound 4) Tuning: Drop D FIRST BIT (VERSE) strum each chord and emphasise the melody on the a string with light struming on others. listen to the song for rhythm (as always) e---X----X------X----X--------X----X--X-X--X-X-X-X-X--------------------| b---0----0------0----0--------0----0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0--------------------| g---0----0------0----0--------0----0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0--------------------| d---0----0------0----0--------0----0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0--------------------| a---4----5------4----0--(0-0)-4----5--4-0--5-4-0-5-4--------------------| D---5----5------5----5--(0 0)-5----5--5-5--5-5-5-5-5--------------------| SLIDY BIT (VERSE PART 2) Theres a cool sounding yet easy to play slidy bit here. Its easy because you dont need of the other fingers, you can just concentrate on the slide: a quick "strum note - up - slide down - pull off" in one fluid motion, while still strumming the other notes. Just let your right hand continue strumming the chord while the left does the fingerwork. e---(0)---(0)---(0)--------(0)---(0)---(0)-----------------------------| b---(0)---(0)---(0)--------(0)---(0)---(0)-----------------------------| g----0-----0-----0----------0-----0-----0------------------------------| d----0-----2-----2/4/2p0----0-----2-----2/4/2p0------------------------| a----0-----0-----0----------0-----0-----0------------------------------| D----0-----0-----0----------0-----0-----0------------------------------| Thats the lot for the verses, untill the end when theres a leading chord into the chorus: 0 0 0 0 2 3 ___________________________________________________________________________ CHORUS: A (minus the bottom string), G type thing - 550055 (fives on top e and b strings only played), G type thing, A, G type thing Em type thing - 220000, G type thing, then G (with the 5s) After the chorus there's a little riff that goes e-------------------| b-------------------| g-------------------| d----------- 0-2----| a---0-2-2/4---------| D-2-----------------| and then back into the verse. _____________________________________________________________________________ Finally theres a little bit of piano before the final chorus. I've aranged it for guitar: e---4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-2---3---2-----4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-| b---5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-3---3---3-----5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4--5-| g---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X---X---X-----X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X--0-| d---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X---X---X-----X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X--0-| a---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X---X---X-----X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X--5-| e---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X---X---X-----X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X--5-| Strum the final chord as a lead up to the chorus.
