I Believe In A Thing Called Love Tab by The Darkness

I Believe In A Thing Called Love tab by The Darkness

Guitar Tab

Artist: The Darkness
Title: I Believe In A Thing Called Love
Album: Permission to Land
 
Originally tabbed by: Ross Kelly
This improved version by: Reservoir Doggie
 
Thanks to Ross for giving me a great start, I just added
a few notes that Dan plays in between the chords coz they
really make the song. I'd guess this is the way they play it,
it certainly allows you to get the right swing to it without
having to play like a speed-metal guitarist. Can't wait for
the album. Keep rockin'!
 
This is all in standard tuning.
 
v=Vibrato
pm=Palm mute
 
Main riff/verse:
|------------------------------------------|

|-0-2-----------------------|
 

Chorus:
(I think it's single notes at that speed.
Dan uses a very heavy string gauge which is why
it sounds like full chords.)
