IMPORTANT NOTE:
This tab is the full version on 'Automatic for the people'
album which is over 5 minutes long and is generally their
live arrangement too. (Live versions may have a few slight
variations to the lyrics, including 'the balls to ask',
rather than 'the gall to ask'.)
The radio edit and promo video versions are shorter, they
skip both the third Chorus and second slide guitar break,
and go straight from the 2nd Pre-Chorus into the repeated
end Choruses, trimming off over 20 seconds in total.
Please IGNORE ANY CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS the website
automatically imposes,they are often not the best option.
Just follow the numbered voicings listed below:
C = x32010 G = 320033 D = xx0232
Dadd4add9 = x54030 (G/D) = xx0033 Bm = x24432
Am = x02210 (G/E) = xx2033 (Am/E) = xx2210
(Am/C) = x32210 Dsus4 = xx0233 Em = 022000
The chords in brackets are just to show some optional
bass notes that could be added and emphasised to add a
bit more to a single guitar accompaniment.
Emphasise the bass note of each chord
