intro - just strum away at E minorEm on a clean electric

E minorEm B5B5  A5A5
I wish we were
 G5G5  A5A5 Bb5Bb5 B5B5  <---hit on the distortion!
stuck up a  tree
E minorEm  B5B5  A5A5   <---back to clean tone
Then we'd know
     G5G5 A5A5 Bb5Bb5 B5B5 <---hit distortion on again!
that it's ni-cer be - low


then there's this bit
e-------|---------|-----|
B-------|---------|-----|
G-4-4-4-|---------|-2---|
D-4-4-4-|---------|-2---|
A-2-2-2-|-0h2-0---|-0---|
E-2-2-2-|-------3-|-----|
    |        |
    |<---riff A---->|


then after the line "don't know any lullabys" the
guitar returns to a clean tone and strums chords,
except for distortion where indicated

Asus2*
  ...don't know how...
Em**
  but I can learn

*each time you reach the 6th beat of every other bar
whilst playing this chord, play a single note G+G on the
3rd fret of the 6th (lowest) string. if that makes
little sense you can pick it up by listening to the
track

**when you first hit the above E minorEm use distortion, then
fade to a clean tone strumming, then put distortion
back on and play riff A, then:

    see above
    /
   /
Asus2*
  ...I saw lovers...
B5B5            <---hit on the distortion!
  well now it's...


then play this 3 times after the above B5B5 is played a
few times:
e---|-------------|-----|
B---|-------------|-----|
G-4-|-7-7-7-7-7---|-4---|
D-4-|-7-7-7-7-7---|-4---|
A-0-|-5-5-5-5-5-0-|-2---|
E---|-------------|-----|

then play riff A, then play this (a slight variation
on riff A augmentedA)
e---------|-0---|
B---------|-0---|
G---------|-0---|
D---------|-2---|
A-0h2-0---|-2---|
E-------3-|-0---|

then guitarwise it's just a case of pretty much
repeating the above, using more contrast in the
changes between the clean tone and distortion (ie
playing the clean tone parts more sparingly - strum
less and softer). end on this riff another variation
of riff A:
e-------|-0---|
B-------|-0---|
G-------|-0---|
D-------|-2---|
A-2-0---|-2---|
E-----3-|-0---|

mwahahahahahahaha!!!!! enjoy!
