ONE OF THESE THINGS FIRST

(revised version - previously posted in EBEGBE, but although still
the same notes, this version sounds more convincing. Also instrumental
section reworked slightly)


TUNING DADF#AD capo 2nd fret (EBEG#BE is same notes of course, but
the strings sound a bit slacker to me)
     
As usual the picking varies a little bit, but these are the main 
shapes. The picking indications (t-thumb, i-index, m-middle, r-ring, 
l-little) are just what I find easiest.


Main riff:
     
|------|------|------|------|
|------|------|------|------|
|--0---|--1---|--3---|--2--1|
|--0---|--0---|--0---|--0--0|
|-0-000|-2-222|-4-444|-3--2-|
|0-----|0-----|0-----|0--0--|

notes:

1. the last note of 000 or 222 etc is very often omitted 
throughout the song.

2. during verses, you play bar 2 again instead of bar 4 (which
only reappears for the lines between verses, and the outro).
also, in verses nick seems just to play the bottom 3 strings,
though this can sound odd unaccompanied.

3. when leading into another section, the last bar becomes:

     |--0---|       |--0---| 
     |-0-000|   or  |-4-000| 
     |0-----|       |0-----|


"Could have been a signpost...."

The intro, if you really want to be precise, goes:
