NOTES:
1.  Although denoted as C#m, this can be best played as C#m - C#m11 - C#m, where C#m11 is X44454.  
Additionally, you may find dropping the 6th string in the chords creates a sharper and more brittle tone, 
better suited to the song.
2.  Note, Johnny Marr?s advice re playing the lead on ?Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others? at 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opWlkKBJQrw.
3.  Also, this a good walk-through at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov7aGJ7H5nw.  Also, there are 
many Lead TAB?s re SGABTO on UG, but very little chord TAB?s.  
?Hope that you find my interpretation, enjoyable? :-R
