After looking at all the versions of 'Confusion' by the Zutons on this FANTASTIC
web-site (all of which are very good I hasten to add), I picked up my trusty instrument
of destruction and immediately broke my top e string. Being forced to make do until the
shops open tomorrow morning and I manage to pinch the pennies from my wife's purse, I
have worked out an alternate way of playing this song. I actually think (?!) it sounds
closest to the original - shoot me if it doesn't!

Intro BASS bit first

	e ---|------------------|------------------|
	b ---|------------------|------------------|
A	g ---|------------------|------------------|
	d ---|------------------|------------------|
	a ---|-----------7-7----|-----------7-7----|
	E -0-|-3-slide-5------0-|-3-slide-5------0-| etc.

Verse 1

	e ------------|-------------|
	b -----5----5-|-----5-----5-|
A	g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
	d -7----------|-7-----------|
	a -0----------|-------------|
	E ------------|-------------|

	e ------------|-------------|
	b -----8----8-|-----8-----8-|
A7	g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
	d -7----------|-7-----------|
	a -0----------|-------------|
	E ------------|-------------|

	e ------------|-------------|
	b -----7----7-|-----7-----7-|
D	g ---7--7-7---|---7---7-7---|
	d -7----------|-7-----------|
	a ------------|-------------|
	E ------------|-------------|

Repeat this pattern until you reach the .............


Chorus
		E	    Bm		   A

	e ------------|-------------|-------------|
	b -----9----9-|-----7-----7-|-----5-----5-|
	g ---9--9-9---|---7---7-7---|---6---6-6---|
	d -9----------|-9-----------|-7-----------|
	a ------------|-------------|-------------|
	E ------------|-------------|-------------|


Also try adding the odd .............

A with slide

	e --------------------|-------------|
	b -------------5----5-|-----5-----5-|
A	g -----------6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
	d -5-slide-7----------|-7-----------|
	a --------------------|-------------|
	E --------------------|-------------|

and make use of the open A - let it ring dude!

	e ------------|-------------|
	b -----5----5-|-----5-----5-|
A	g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
	d ------------|-------------|
	a -0----------|-0-----------|
	E ------------|-------------|

NOTE the extra note in each bar - it helps give the rhythm and flow to the song.

I hope this makes sense - CONFUSION - yes indeedy!
