Capo 2
[Intro]
(For these first little barre chords, I like to add a little bit of that Jamaican
style rake to the chords. The legend for the symbols is at the bottom)
e|--------7----------3------2~---0~------------|
B|--------9----------5------3~---2~------------|
G|--------8----------4------2~---2~------------|
D|--------9----------5------4~---2~------------|
A|--------7----------3------2~---0~------------|
E|-------(7)--------(3)------------------------|
Then (please listen to the song for the actual rhythm and timing) shuffle these with
some groove to it like how Marr plays:
e|-----000-0-00-x-00---000-0-00-x-00---|
B|-----555-0-55-x-00/--777-0-77-x-00---|

The Second and Fourth Verses – fingerpicked by Marr when playing live. This is the hardest part of
the song, because there are so many guitar parts going on at the same time in the recorded version.
Basically, for one guitar, you either fingerpick what Marr plays live or try to make out a combination
of the prominent guitar parts from the recorded version.
Here are tabs for:
A) the recorded version, rhythm guitar
B) the live version, fingerpicking
Option A (recorded version):

The Second and Fourth Verses – fingerpicked by Marr when playing live. This is the hardest part of
the song, because there are so many guitar parts going on at the same time in the recorded version.
Basically, for one guitar, you either fingerpick what Marr plays live or try to make out a combination
of the prominent guitar parts from the recorded version.
Here are tabs for:
A) the recorded version, rhythm guitar
B) the live version, fingerpicking
Option A (recorded version):
F#maj7 D#m / / (strike these two with emphasis)
