Tabbed by Simon McCarthyAnother great track from the best album of all time (in my opinion), although lead guitarist / god-like figure Nick McCabe doesn't play much of the song. The lead is mostly played by rhythm guitarist Simon Tong. The lead is played clean with compression and delay (The slightest bit of drive may help) and the ambient guitar noises are mostly clean as well.Tuning: StandardScale: G bluescaleCapo: NoneGuitar: Lead- Gibson ES355, other- Gibson Les Paul Goldtop / Fender StratEffects: Boss Compressor, Watkins Copycat Tape Echo, Alesis Quadraverb, Boss Digital Delay, Marshall Drivemaster, Roland Frequency Cleaner.Chords:G= 320002 / 355433D= xx0232 / 101212111010Dsus= xx0230Asus4= 002200Em= 022000Intro (6 Bars)- Acoustic -G D Dsus Asus4(Acoustic plays this throughout verses and chorus as well)Distort electric plays chords as well.Nicks guitars play these-e--------3------3--3--3 b----5------5----5--5-- g----------------------- (Over the 6 bar intro) d----------------------- a----------------------- e-----------------------Main lick:e-------0h2------------------- b-----------0h3--------------- g----------------0h2---------- (Played on the D chord of bar 3 and 6) d--2/4------------------------ a----------------------------- e-----------------------------Bar4:e------------------------------ b------------------------------ g------------------------------ d---0h2---0h2------0h2------ a--------4-----4-------------- e------------------------------All the bars are filled up with sustained notes of chords with the pickup selector switch being moved back and forward with one pickups volume lower that the other.
