Transcribed by: Ken Dunnington

If you haven't heard it yet, it's worth a listen, though very different
from their other stuff. This is my first tab, so be gentle :)

Chords used:
I put both versions of the chords (where applicable) because I'm not
sure which one is correct, but they both sound good.
Verse chords:
Dm: x00231 (or 577555)
Am: x02210 (or 557765)
These two are played during the main verses while Dave sings.
The pattern is Dm/Dm/Am/Am for the whole verse.
Bridge chords:
D MajorD : x0023x
A augmentedA : x02220 (or 557775)
G+G : 320033 (or 355733)
FF : 133211
Again, I put the alternative fingerings in parentheses because I'm not
exactly sure which is right, though either way sounds fine to me.
The pattern is A/G/F/D.

These are all equal measures. The chords are strummed on the last
word of each measure.

The song then goes into a part I don't dare try to tab - just strum the
Am/Dm chords along with it and occasionally pick a note here and there
along with what you hear.
[Chorus]: Start off with an A augmentedA

Well, that's the song. Like I said, this is my first tab, so it's not
perfect, and I welcome any feedback at [email protected]!
