I couldn't find any tabs for this song, so I decided to do it myself. I think the
song is supposed to be played in open E tuning, but I tabbed it out in E standard.




E (022100@1)  B (x2444x@1)      A (x02220@1)          B (x2444x@1) 
      On the high-rise estate 
      G#m (133111@4)                       A (x02220@1)     What's at the back of your mind ? 
                 E (022100@1)       B (x2444x@1)     Oh, on a three-day debate
            A (x02220@1)         B (x2444x@1)     On a high-rise estate
      G#m (133111@4)                       A (x02220@1)      What's at the back of your mind ?

           E (022100@1)       B (x2444x@1)      A (x02220@1)         B (x2444x@1)     Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
                G#m (133111@4)               A (x02220@1)     It's the Eskimo blood in my veins 
            E (022100@1)           B (x2444x@1)     Amid concrete and clay 
           A (x02220@1)       B (x2444x@1)     And general decay 
       G#m (133111@4)                    A (x02220@1)     Nature must still find a way 

            E (022100@1)   B (x2444x@1)    A (x02220@1)           B (x2444x@1)     So ignore all the codes of the day 
                G#m (133111@4)                A (x02220@1)      Let your juvenile influences sway 
       E (022100@1)          B (x2444x@1)     This way and that way and
       A (x02220@1)          B (x2444x@1)     This way and that way 
      G#m (133111@4)            A (x02220@1)     God, how sex implores you 
         F# (244322@1)     To let yourself lose yourself
