Subject: Slim tabs wishes granted 

Here's my version, hope you like it:

The chord changes are rather simple, it's pretty much a drone chord with 
a walking bass-line.

This is the verse, like I say, a drone chord with a descending bass line 
(The notes above the tab is the bass note)


			       1/3         2/4			       

     A/E      C       B         G           D
 
||e---O---|---O---|---O---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||b---O---|---O---|---O---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||g---4---|---4---|---4---| |---4---|| ||---7---||
||d---2---|---X---|---X---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||a---O---|--h3---|---2---| |---X---|| ||---5---||
||E---X---|---X---|---X---| |---3---|| ||---X---||

The first and third times through, the riff goes to the 'G', whilst the 
second and third times, it slides up to the 'D' bit.

An example (using the bass notes to deliniate the changes):

A/E	       C		     B

	Do you know	Where you're going

       G

Do you know where you've been


A/E	      C		      B

	Is it simple?	Is it simple

    D

The chances seem so slim


Etcetera...  (pardon, but I can't remember the lyrics.  I apologise for 
any lyrical bollocksings up).  Now, the chorus:

The chords are (yes, dearies, real chords for the chorus!):


    Fmaj7    Em      Emaj    C9     Dsus2

||e---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---||
||b---1---|---O---|---O---|---3---|---3---||
||g---2---|---O---|---1---|---O---|---2---||
||d---3---|---2---|---2---|---2---|---O---||
||a---3---|---2---|---2---|---3---|---O---||
||E---X---|---O---|---O---|---X---|---X---||


So, here's how it works:


Fmaj7          			      Em			Em-h-Emaj

Iiiiiiiiiii'm  			      Left behind

Fmaj7	       			       Em			Em-h-Emaj

Left behind, left behind	It's a matter of time

	Fmaj7			       Em			Em-h-Emaj

Your protection from injection	My projection

 C9				 Dsus2

Ejected from the slide		Ejected from the slide


And that's all folks.  Listen to the record for the form (verse chorus 
verse, as a great man once said), and at the fade out, marriage bit at 
the end, play the verse chord sequence, but don't go up to the 'D' bit, 
keep repeating the riff with the 'G' ending!  Have loadsa fun...
