The song is the work and creation of The Smiths
from the album Meat is Murder.
Tuning: Standard
NOTE: I've tabbed this in standard tuning with out a capo for clarity.
If you want to play this in the key as performed by Johnny Marr and The Smiths
place a capo on the 2nd fret and play accordingly. Chords are tabbed out below.
Enjoy:-)
