You know its just impossible to do a perfect tab of The Verve's songs, because Nick is just fantastic.
Here's the best i can do, ok?

*All the song is played with semi-distorted delay (over 400 ms), but sometimes switching with wah-wah
pedal and the bridge is played with clean delay

*Nick uses B blues scale, starting at the 7th fret. If you know it you can improvise a lot

*each chorus is tabbed, because they have some variations
                                                      -----o-----

So... let's tab some music

Intro - 2 bars drums and bass (You can add some *effected* riffs)

At the end of the 2nd bar play this (just before the main riff)

From this part on, most people do not tab here because is a mix of over 6 guitars with different effects. What I will
 do then is tab what you can hear louder in the song. I know this tab can't be perfect, but at least it
sounds understandable. Of course, you also can improvise your own riffs, this song is made for playing it different everytime
it is played.

I divide the end of the song in 2 parts, the first part has 16 bars and is the strongest part in the song, and the
second part is when the song starts to fade out.

1st part - delay

E |------------------------|----------------------------|---------------------|-
B |------------------------|----------------------------|---------------------|-
G |-----------------9h7----|-----------/9-7---b9-9-7----|---------------------|-
D |-------7-------9-----9--|-------7h9------9--------9--|-------7-------9--7--|-
A |--7-9-----7-9-----------|--7-9-----------------------|--7-9-----7-9--------|-
E |--5-7-----5-7-----------|--5-7-----------------------|--5-7-----5-7--------|-

----------------------------------|
----------------------------------|
------------------7h9-7----9-7----|
------7-------7h9-------9------9--|
-7-9-----7-9----------------------|
-5-7-----5-7----------------------|

and now practically it is this riff - from now on with heavy distortion wah-wah pedal

E |-----------------------------|
B |------------------10-10--7---|
G |--------8-8-------9--9---7---| x4
D |--7--9--9-9---9---7--7---7---|
A |--7--9--9---9-9---7------7---|
E |--5--7--7---7-7--------------|

and then




E |---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------
B |------------------/10--10--|------------------/12--12--|------------------12-
G |--------8-8-------/9---9---|--------8-8-------/11--11--|--------8-8-------11-
D |--7--9--9-9---9---/7---7---|--7--9--9-9---9---/9---9---|--7--9--9-9---9------
A |--7--9--9---9-9------------|--7--9--9---9-9------------|--7--9--9---9-9------
E |--5--7--7---7-7------------|--5--7--7---7-7------------|--5--7--7---7-7------

--------|------------------------------|
-12-12--|--------------------10--10----|
-11-11--|--------8-8---------9---9-----|
----9---|--7--9--9-9---9-7-7-7-7-7--9--|
--------|--7--9--9---9-9---------------|
--------|--5--7--7---7-7---------------|

The last 4 bars are the same

E |-------------------7------|
B |-------------------7------|
G |-------------------7------|
D |--9--9--9-9--9--9--9-7h9--|
A |-------------------9------|
E |--------------------------|

2nd part - wah-wah and delay

E |--7--7---7-7------|--7--7---7-7-----------------|--7--7---7-7----------------
B |--7--7---7-7------|--7--7---7-7----10--12--15--|--7--7---7-7----10--12--15-
G |--8--8---7-7---x8-|--8--8---7-7----9---11--14--|--8--8---7-7----9---11--14-
D |--9--9---9-7------|--9--9---9-7----7---9---12--|--9--9---9-7----7---9---12-
A |--9------9--------|--9------9-------------------|--9------9------------------
E |------------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------

E |--------------------|
B |--15--15---12--12--|
G |--14--14---11--11--| x3
D |--12--12---9---9---|
A |--------------------|
E |--------------------|

The last part (when there is no more drums) is 4 palm muted main riffs

E |-----------------------|--------------------|
B |-----------------------|-----------------7--|
G |--------8-8-------9-7--|-------8-8-------7--|
D |--7--9--9-9---9---9-7--|--7-9--9-9---9---7--|
A |--7--9--9---9-9---7-7--|--7-9--9---9-9---7--|
E |--5--7--7---7-7--------|--5-7--7---7-7------|

So, that's all.
