The Polyphonic Spree
"Soldier Girl"

The song follows the same chord sequence all the way through:

C Em Ab C F D7

Though just to confuse matters the first chord the bass player plays on
is the D7, so after 8 D's the play C 8 times and follow the sequence

So the intro is as follows

  D7              C               Em             Ab
G-----------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-

  C               F               D7
G-------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------
A-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
E-----------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-----------------

The rest of the song is the same minus the 8 D's at the start:

  C               Em              Ab              C
G-----------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------------------------
A-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
E---------------------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------

  F               D7
G---------------------------------
D---------------------------------
A-----------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
E-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1----------------- 

play this for the rest of the song, put on your robe, and jump around
like a crazy person.

P.S when i saw the 'spree recently, drunk as i was, i kept sticking
my thumb up at the bassist and harpist and they both acknowledged me
with a smile and a wave. Amazing band, amazing songs. Linkin Park
would never do such a thing. Oh, and i was in the bogs when they played
this song, which is a shame.
