Let me know if you have a comment or correction! Have fun...

Chord diagramA augmentedA few notes:

1. I don't know how to begin to explain the timing on this, so I won't.
  Listen to the recording, and you shouldn't have much trouble. Most of wh=
at
  you'll be playing here will be in the space between beats, but watch out
  for a few parts where there's a lot to be played in a short time.
2. I only put the last three strings for this tab, because I think that's al=
l
  Marr is really hitting... but you ought to be able to construct the full
  chord, should you feel the need. I didn't try to name all of the chords
  either since it wouldn't do you much good anyways.
  "Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held..."

The above two pieces repeat throughout the verses, fairly regularly.
The only big exceptions are:

The last verse is slightly different at the end:

  "I do not mean to be so rude..."
