If you listen to the record you can place all the bits together. Chords used: Bm: x24432 G: 320033 Eb: xx5343 Cm: x35543 D: xx0232 F#m: 244222 C#m: x46654 A: x02220 G/F#: 2x0033 Intro: Guitar 1: RIFF 1 N.C. -------------------------- -------------------------- --------3--3--2--2--0--0-- (x19) --0--0-------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- The seventh time this riff is played guitar 2 comes in with a single chord: Guitar 2: RIFF 2 Bm--2-- (x24432@1)--3-- --4-- --4-- ----- ----- Verse One (repeat riff 1 throughout) Bm (x24432@1)I was in the pub...

Back to riff one (x12) Verse two (Bm) 'You was so open-minded... Repeat riff one throughout (there is no guitar slash at the start of this verse) Middle eight: The middle eight is in two sections: Here you play the chords: F#m (244222@1) C#m (x13321@4) (x4) I think we've lost our perception... etc. Third time: C#m --4--4----- --5--5----- --6--6----- --6--6----- --4--4----- --------x (scrape plectrum down string quickly) ..reason...

Then play this riff x6 during the indechipherable spoken part. Bm (x24432@1) G (320003@1)G/F#--2-------------------- (320002@1)--3-------------------- --4-------------------- --4--------0--2-------- -----2--4-------------- -----------------3--2-- Note: 5th time the there is a pinch harmonic (?)on the 7th fret instead of a Bm chord. Then play Riff 1 x 4 and repeat the chorus Chorus. Coda: Riff 1 is played around 20 times then after about 15 times a rhythm guitar comes in playing Bm G G/F# and the riff dissapears in the mix and then drops out. Before coming back along with the rhythm guitar and it's continued until the song ends on Bm. So, a brief summary is Intro: Bm G (x6) Verse: Bm G (x3) Chorus: Eb Cm (x3) D Verse two: Bm G (x2) Middle eight: F#m C#m (x4) D C#m A (x2) A Chorus: as chorus 1 Break: Bm G (x2) Spoken bit: Bm G G/F# (x6) Chorus: as chorus 1 Coda: Bm G G/F# to end. I hope you understand - if I'm completely wrong please correct me! Cheers.
