			        Waiting To Know You - The Fiery Furnaces
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: The Valrus
Email:     valrus@bluebottle.com

Tuning:    Standard

Note:      Probably your best bet with this one is to fingerpick it, and
           forget about the outro if you're playing solo.

I'm standing guard the navy yard
  [C]              [C/B]            [C/A]

Synth solo (best played with a slide if you attempt it at all on guitar):

    repeat 3 times
E |-3-/12----8-\3-/8-----5-\3--|--10\8--8-/12\10\8-/12\10\8-/12\10\8-/15-|-
B |---------------------------o|-----------------------------------------|-
G |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-
D |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-
A |---------------------------o|-----------------------------------------|-
E |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-


For the outro guitar solo, just play the bass notes of the given chords:
G F# E G F# E C Am

over the chords. The piano does most of the work in the outro and would be
nigh-impossible to replicate on the guitar.
