This is a great song by the English Beat. This tab is only for the muted rhythm guitar.
is a very basic version. I'll be making a more revised version soon. Cheers!

Verse (when singing starts)

One guitar scratches, the other plays open chords in reggae/ska fashion.

[E]
Mirror in the bathroom
[G]
please talk free
[E]
The door is locked
[G]       [A]
just you and me.
[E]
Can I take you to a restaurant
[G]
that's got glass tables
[E]
You can watch yourself
[G]             [A]
while you are eating.

[Sax solo 1...same thing for guitar as in verse.]

[Sax solo 2... I'm not sure of the guitar interlude right here. I'll make a more revised
soon.}

Verse (same thing)

Mirror in the bathroom
I just can't stop it,
Every Saturday you see me
window shopping.
Find no interest
in the racks and shelves
Just ten thousand reflections
of my own sweet self, self, self...

[Sax solo]

Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom...
Mirror in the bathroom
Recompense
For all my crimes
of self defense.
Cures you whisper
make no sense
Drift gently into
mental illness.
Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating.
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom...

When you play this song, when you hit the E chord, strike the bottom three strings first
and the three high strings on the second beat. Play it to the bass beat. Do this with
chords but MAKE SURE THEY ARE MUTED!!!!!!
