ALBUM: There Are No Happy Endings
TABBED BY: kryptonite22
TUNING: drop D

There's another tab of this song on here that's actually very good but misses out a 
of subtle notes (particularly in the intro/main riff) and gets a couple of chord changes 
so this version just adds to the good foundations laid down by Michael_D in the first tab
and hopefully improves upon it

INTRO (minimal distortion)
e|---------------------------------|

Play same again but with tons of distortion

Verse is played mainly by bass (the 5s are played clean and faded in the background, but 
add the 8s after every line of vocals)
e|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|---------------|
D|--5->----8888--|
A|--5->----8888--|
D|--5->----8888--|

CHORUS
e|-----------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------101010-----|
G|----------------------------------10-----------|
D|--1111/333--1111/333--1111/333--8888888888-----|
A|--1111/333--1111/333--1111/333--8888888888-----|
D|--1111/333--1111/333--1111/333--8888888888-----|

Then play the main/intro RIFF

The next verse is played by bass apart from the 8s at the end, as before.

CHORUS again

"Shake your finger" part - the 3 is basically achieved by holding your finger gently 
that D string, and the rest of the strings you're just sort of scratching
e|------x-x-x-x-x-x---------|
B|------x-x-x-x-x-x---------|
G|------x-x-x-x-x-x---------|
D|--5---x-x-x-x-x-x----555--|
A|--5---x-x-x-x-x-x----555--|
D|--5---3*3*3*3*3*3*---555--|

Main riff again

Chorus riff again
