Hey Hey people.
Why is it that Wildhearts tableture is some of the most difficult to come across? - And
there be no sarcy remarks questioning the bands quality!
I know that this tab won't be completely, 100% accurate. Songs by The Wildhearts are
a bit a git for trying to work out, not sure why, they just seem to be. Hence why I am
aware that the following tab will not be entirely true to what is played on the record,
it's better than nothing, and you're more than welcome to point corrections if you see fit!
Enjoy!
Intro - The rhythm of this riff isn't the easiest to tab, so I haven't bothered! I'm
about that! You should be able to get it from the tab and the song together, but if you do
any problems, please email me and I'd be more than happy to help out. Please note that
is played with a clean effect, the distorted guitar line is exactly the same.

This is played twice without distortion, and then twice with distortion. After that the
riff comes in.

You place this one, then the intro riff twice, and then the verse riff again. After
the verse riff again, you play the intro riff twice again, but you hold onto the A chord

Wait for the drum solo, and then you play the intro riff again for two times. Then play
verse riff once, but don't go into the intro riff again. Hold on the A chord and then go
the chorus. After playing the chorus (and after the little drum solo) play the intro
again, and hold onto the A chord. The ending bit is...

You play this four times all the way through palm muted. Then twice through without
the strings, and then on the third time with muting, you hold the D, A, E and B chords in
with the song (these are the last four chords of the ending riff).
Well that's as much as I can humanly do. I hope it meets the grade, and I'm sorry if
are mistakes in it. Take care everyone.
