Tabs

Here are some of the riffs to give you an idea of how the song goes.

Tabbed from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INTh4TbExmw


[Intro]

  G+G                   E minor 7Em7
e|-----------3---------------3---------------3---------------3-------|
BB|---------------0---------------0---------------0--------------0----|
G+G|---0---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------|
D MajorD|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-----|

^ Repeat a few items

e|--------------------------------------------|
BB|--------------------------------------------|
G+G|-----------------0---0---0---0---0---0---0--|
D MajorD|-----2------4-------------------------------|
A augmentedA|--3------5----------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3|

[Verse]

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-------2---4---2---0-------2b--0-------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---0-------------------2---------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-3---3---3---3---3---0---0-------------------------------------------------|

And repeat! Rhythm should be syncopated until the open E minorEm transition


  Drop what I'm doing and sit beside you
e|--------------------------------------------|
BB|--1----------------------3------------------|
G+G|--0----------------------0------------------|
D MajorD|--------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|--3----------------------5------------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------|


Then the intro part plays over the "waaa hooooo" chorus bit.


If,
If I,
If I ever wander on by
Could,
Could you,
Flag me down and beg me to
Drop what I'm doing and sit beside you

So did,
Did they ditch us and leave us with nothing to say
Where,
Where we,
Where we will wait for friends and family
To pass away or come in handy

Oh,
Oh dear,
A augmentedA rotten summer, a rotten hope, dear
Where, where we wait for to lose our friends and family
To fame and fire, to dame or dandy
To pass away or come in handy
