    WINTER

repeat x 3, then once without vocal


atempo :

       first             chill       of       winter


Piano to close

lyrics in small case are boo hewerdine's vocal
LYRICS IN CAPITALS ARE DARDEN SMITH'S VOCAL


Arrangement :

The above is a bit of a bodge to try and make one guitar sound like two
guitars and a keyboard! If you have a few instruments/musos to spare, try this
arrangement:


Guitar 1/Keyboard: Just play G D C chords throughout (except the bridge)


Guitar 2: Play this riff throughout, once per line of vocals
e---------------------------------------------||
B--0---1----0------------0----1----0---------:||
G----------------2----------------------0-----||
                           ^
(the part marked ? in the  |
 tab is supposed to sound  |
                     like that part of the bassline)


Bass/Guitar 3: Riff/bassline as for Guitar 2, but one/two octaves lower.
G---------------------------------------------||
A--2---3----2----0-------2----3----2---------:||
E---------------------------------------3-----||


Guitar 4: Drop in the second and fourth bar from the intro at various places.

N.B.
bit marked * in the tab is meant to sound like the 2nd bar of the intro
bit marked + in the tab is meant to sound like the 4th bar of the intro,

but if you've got guitar 4 playing it at the 5th fret, that sounds better.
