None of the tabs I saw of this seemed right so I figured I'd have a crack. INTRO/CHORUS Synth and Guitar 1 (Gordy/Kele) e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| E|9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-|| If you tremolo pick this and turn the tone down a bit you can get a similar sort of to that on the record...or you can spend a ridiculous amount of money on a Korg synth. I Kele must use some sort of tremelo effect as when they play live he only picks each note the synth is the dominant part anyway. Guitar 2 (Russell) e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|21-21-21-21-21-21-21-21-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------|| B|------------------------------------------------|| G|13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-|| D|------------------------------------------------|| A|------------------------------------------------|| E|------------------------------------------------|| I'm not entirely sure about the alteration from playing the E on the 21st fret the first to playing it on the 9th the second time through. It is most likely that Russel is a pitch shifter or POG to add the higher octave. Once more though, this is the version we people without stupid amounts of money to spend on pedals. VERSE Synth/Guitar 1 e|------------------------------------|| B|------------------------------------|| G|------------------------------------|| D|------------------------------------|| A|------------------------------------|| E|9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12-5-5-5-5-|| Same rhythm as the intro. The Pre-Chorus is just the 9th fret on the E string. Guitar 2 (This is only played in the second verse) e|---------------------------------19----------19-|| B|---------19----------19-------------------------|| G|18-20-21----18-20-21----18-20-21----18-20-21----|| D|------------------------------------------------|| A|------------------------------------------------|| E|------------------------------------------------|| This is repeated throughout the second verse. Russell slowly brings the tone up on a wah. If that is too awkward you can play it in a couple of other ways. e|---------------------------------19----------19-|| B|---16-17-19----16-17-19----16-17-------16-17----|| G|18----------18----------18----------18----------|| D|------------------------------------------------|| A|------------------------------------------------|| E|------------------------------------------------|| e|---------------------------------19----------19-|| B|14-16-17-19-14-16-17-19-14-16-17----14-16-17----|| G|------------------------------------------------|| D|------------------------------------------------|| A|------------------------------------------------|| E|------------------------------------------------|| BRIDGE It just sounds like everything holds the C# (9th fret on the E string) however Russell picks an E (2nd fret on the D string) and slides up into the final chorus towards the end the bridge. The final chorus sounds as though Russell throws in a few changes possibly. You can try out, all you need to know is that it's in E major.
