Tabbed by: Mungwati


EDIT:
> This is a tab in standard tuning, so a bit easier than having to go to drop-d.
> Had a fiddle around with an easier picking pattern, doesn't require the palm mutes.


Really love this song and saw that there wasn't a tab floating about so thought I'd give it a go.
My first time at writing a tab, so any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.

This tab is mainly based upon this acoustic version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj22HvDRFiM ,
but i threw in the intro from the album version for good measure.

If you have a fiddle around you can adapt this tab to the album version.

Intro [DROP D] (Album version)

F|---------------------------|---------9--|
D|----5--4-------------------|---------0--|
A|-2----------------5-4-2----|--2/4----0--|
D|---------0---4-------------|---------0--|
  Play this part 4 times.   Then this once.

Rest of the song follows the same pattern, so give the youtube video a
 listen and play along with it and you
should crack it in no time.
