I couldnt find a 100% correct tab for the chords or the riffs in this great song, so heres my
attempt!!


Notes:

- You really need two guitars, one for the chords and one for the various riffs, but if 
youre singing then you can leave the riffs out and concentrate on the chords.

 - All the riffs have been tabbed out for a non-capoed guitar - this makes it clearer and 
easier to understand - ive put a note above each riff just to remind readers. 

- For those of you without a capo and/or limited upper-fret access (if youre using a 
traditional acoustic, for example), there is a separate tab catering for this at the bottom 
(the capoed version sounds so much better though).

- Ive tabbed out the riffs the way i play them - obviously you can change them by playing 
the same notes on different strings etc, but theyre probably easiest to play in the form 
ive put them in.

Theres an arpeggio played on the synth over the second Bm. Its quite tricky so if you cant
play it, just play the chords. Here it is in tab:

*NOT RELATIVE TO THE CAPO*

e|-16----------------------16----------------------16----------------------|   
B|----17----------------17----17----------------17----17----------------17-|

D|----------18----18----------------18----18----------------18----18-------| 
A|-------------16----------------------16----------------------16----------| 
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Repeat, and fade out over the second F. Then fade back in over the D, and stop just before 
the pre-verse.
