Hello, I tabbed this out a long time ago, but as anyone who saw
it will know, it was hard to follow.  I've given up trying to
follow the words with the music.  Just keep time with the bass
line (which is a simplky 4/4) and if you can get the music
together then the lyrics should come easy.  I have plenty of
other Smiths tab around (most, if not all, can be found on
ftp sites), but feel free to bug me if you cant find something
you want.  Also feel free to bug me about anything Smiths related,
about this tab, or just to beg me to join your band :)

repeat that one more time.  Since the words dont go exactly with the
music the way one might suspect, the But we... part starts at the end
of the second time (the But starts at the G#m) so the cannot cling
part is where the next part enters... confused?  Just listen to the
song a bit and try to follow along). This next part also serves
as the bridge after verse 4...

Ok, again since the lyrics are odly places over the music, the
Does the body rule starts with Does on the second to last bass note.

It then goes back through the songs for each verse like that.

To endm, do the intro and end on C#m
