The Planets Bend Between Us (Acoustic) by Snow Patrol
(Tabbed by Dylan Colley)

This is the acoustic version of The Planets Bend Between Us by Snow Patrol
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaVIK1lWdu4). There's not much to it, really,
but there's nothing that great for this song on UG so far.

It's in standard tuning. Simple enough. This tab has two guitars, Gary Lightbody's and 
Nathan Connolly's but GL's parts on their own sound fine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intro and Verse:

Gary Lightbody's part, which consists of the two notes on the E and D strings being 
played simultaneously and the open a string being hit right after, droning through 
the whole verse:
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|-7---7---7---7---7----7----7---7---7----7----7----7----|
A|---0---0---0---0----0----0---0---0----0----0----0------|
E|-9---9---7---7---10---10---10--10--10---10---10---10---|

Repeat this for each line of the verse.

Nathan Connolly's part for the first verse, which comes in after a bar or so of the intro:
e|-12----------10---|
B|----10-12-10------|
G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|


For the first half of the second verse, Nathan plays this, before going back in to the 
other part.
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|------------------9---|
D|--7-9-7-----7-9-7-----|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chorus:

Gary's part. Listen to the song for the rhythm and all that:

e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
D|-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5---|
A|-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5---|
E|-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7--3-3-3-3---|

Play that for each line of the chorus, right through.

Nathan's part. Again, listen for the rhythm and pattern, this might not be exact. 
They're played in quick succession:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------10---|
B|--10--10--10--10---10--10--10--10---10--10--10--10--10--10--10---10-|
G|----9---9---9---9----9---9---9---9----9---9---9---9---9---9---9----9|
D|-7----------------7----------------7---------------7----------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's most of it anyway, can't think of anymore, but if there's any more, I'll come 
back to it and put it in!
