      -- Cold Contaigous by Bush.  Razorblade Suitcase version. --

  Intro -

    E5                    C5                            E5

6|----------------------------------|--------------|---------|
                                    |----Fill 1----|

  Play these chords very loosely, hitting open strings often.  This
is just an example.  Anything you play with those chords will sound good.


Verse -
 -- Same as Intro riff but not as broken up.  Repeat Fill 1 often --

-Verse 1:
E5(7th fret)         C5
   Wherever you are...
(FILL 1)
E5
C5 (FILL 1)

Pre Chorus -
 E5 (on 7th fret)       C5
  You will...

 -- Repeat several times getting progressively heavier --


Chorus -
A5                             C5
   You have no...
C5 G5 F5
F5 G5 F5

 -- return to verse on first chorus --

E5(7th fret)    C5
  Cold...

 -- repeat verse --

-Verse 2:
E5                        C5
    Reality...
E5
C5

-Verse 3:

 -- Only play bassline with distorted guitar noises --

E5                           C5
  Paint your...
(FILL 1)

 -- play bassline once alone --

  Before the last chorus play this and then skip the first part of
the chorus and go to where he sings "Cold Contaigous"

 E5  (pause) C5
 E5  (pause) C5
(heavy downstrokes)

Well, thats it.  There are a lot of free flowing guitar riffs guitarist
Nigel Pulsford plays while Gavin plays the Verse riff.  They're basically
notes around the E5 and C5 chords and shouldn't be hard to figure out.
I particularly like this song because all the cool parts are done with
a guitar instead of a violin and cello as they are on most of the songs.
