Weird song to tab because the "build up" part is actually played on a guitar either tuned down or in drop D
However when playing it live the guitar is standard tuning. Listen yourself

Intro:
e|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|  X4 (i think)
A|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
E|--8h10-10-10-8-8-8-6h8-8-8-6s/3-3---|--8h10-10-10bu11bd10-8-8-8-6h8-8-8-6s/3-3-----|

Pre-Verse:
e|-------|
B|-------|
G|-------|
D|--5----|
G|--5----|  end on this cord, if u want, or just hold the last note (3)
E|--3----|

The verse is just chords which i can't really hear

Pre-Chorus:
e|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|---------------|
D|--5-5---5-5----|
G|--5-5---5-5----| 
E|--3-3---3-3----|

Chorus:
e|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
D|--7-7-7-7---3-3---10-10-10-10---5-5--|--7-7-7-7---3-3-3-3---5--5--5--5----|
A|--7-7-7-7---3-3---10-10-10-10---5-5--|--7-7-7-7---3-3-3-3---5--5--5--5----|
E|--5-5-5-5---1-1---8--8--8--8----3-3--|--5-5-5-5---1-1-1-1---3--3--3--3----|


After this, play the Intro again, Pre-Verse, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus and then the Bridge thingy.

Bridge:
e|------------------|-----------------|--------------------|
B|------3---5---3---|-----3---5---3---|--------------------|
G|----0---0---0---0-|---0---0---0---0-|-4-s/5-5-5-5--------|
D|--2---------------|-0---------------|-x-s/x-x-x-x--X4----| X4
A|------------------|-----------------|-2-s/3-3-3-3--------|
E|------------------|-----------------|--------------------|

After Bridge
e|-------|
B|-------|
G|-------|
D|--2----|
G|--2----|  end on this cord.
E|--0----|
     

Now comes the difficult bit to me. It's just really hard to hear the guitar I think.
I have a video of Sweet Pandemonium live and I worked the song out from that.
In the song during the 'Build Up' bit the piano keeps playing notes that get higher each time.
Thats why i call it build up. So when i play it with my band, I build up the sound on my guitar
to give the effect of the piano doing it.I'll write both tabs, the HIM one and the way I play it.


Intro (In lower key)
e|---------------------------------|	    |-------|
B|---------------------------------|	    |-------|
G|---------------------------------|	    |-------|
D|---------------------------------| end on |--2----|
A|---------------------------------|	    |--2----|
E|--5h7-7-7-5-5-5-3h5-5-5-3p0-0----|	    |--0----|



Build Up Bit 
Sounds to me like its played on a guitar tuned to drop D however for standard tuning its this:
e|----------------------------------------------------------------|	   
B|----------------------------------------------------------------|	    
G|----------------------------------------------------------------|	    
D|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------------| go straight into chorus
A|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------------|	    
E|---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------------------------|	



Build Up Bit ****THE WAY I PLAY IT (improvise for the keyboard with guitar)******
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---------------------------------7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9--11-11--12-12--14-14--16-16----|

Very End. I dont actually think its a guitar but here it is anyway.
e|-----------|-----------------------|----------------------|-------------------------|	   
B|-----------|-----------------------|----------------------|-------------------------|	    
G|-----------|-----------------------|----------------------|-------------------------|	    
D|--10--9s/5-|-5s/10--9--7--5-5s/9---|-2--2s/10--9--7--5--2-|-2s/10--9--7--5--5s/9----| 
A|-----------|-----------------------|----------------------|-------------------------|	    
E|-----------|-----------------------|----------------------|-------------------------|	
  

Hope the tab isn't confusing, It shouldn't be anyway. I made it as straight forward as possible.
Once again, The tab is as far as i can tell near perfect. If you find any mistakes or a 2nd guitar
somewhere email me or sign my guestbook to tell me.
This song was not writin by me. HIM should be thanked and get all the credit for it. HIM rock baby.
Enjoy... and sorrow
