Sunflower tab by Paul Weller

Tabs

Here's an absolutely spanking song by Paul Weller (a name that I see is sadly absent from the archive).

{Listen to the track to get the rythum / strumming pattern of the
 A minorAm and E minorEm on the intro. The pattern is different for the verses.
 All chords are played in open position unless stated otherwise.}


VERSE 1

A minorAm      E minorEm
I don't care how ...

A minorAm         E minorEm
We have no future - ...

C majorC        G+G

FF                 E minorEm
I'll choose the words ...

VERSE 2
Along winding streets, we ....

That I'd run through -


CHORUS - { The same as the intro but there's a bit of distortion on
       lead and there's also a second guitar playing chords. The
       chords are played in 'A shape'. }

 And I miss you so - (Oh ....


VERSE 3

CHORUS


MIDDLE BIT.

 { This bit was a bitch to work out }
 { The second time that he plays this bit hes got a phasor
   or flanger on the go. }

|--4-------7----4-----9-9-9-9-7-0--|--4-------7----4---9-7-9-7-7-0-|
|--5-------5----5-----9-9-9-9-9-9--|--5-------5----5---9-7-9-7-9-9-|

|--4 h 6--(6)--(6)-----------------|--4 h 6--(6)--(6)--------------|
|----------------------------------|-------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|-------------------------------|

 Repeat two times.

 { He plays this bit fast and so it can be tricky getting ya little
  fingers moving and so if you're finging it hard to play the 2nd bar
  correctly - just play the first one twice since you can't tell
  the difference when playing through a phasor }


{ Play chorus again with these words }
And I miss you so - I miss ....

Baby I'm afraid to say ...


MIDDLE BIT { Again }

{ There's no garantees about the ending it sounds about right but
 there more than one way to play any tune (right) and when you've
 spent an hour or so listening to the same four second segment of
 song then you kinda get sick of the whole thing. So if your not
 satisfied with it, play around with it a little yourself }

 If you see any glaring mistakes then please post them.

 Anyone out there worked out 'Wildwood', 'Pictures on the wall',
 'Has my fire really gone out?' or any other Weller / Jam songs
 then lets hear from you.
