Tabbed according to the "Live at Abbey Road" version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GzGMEvkjrI
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 3
The beat of this is song is very strange, the drums appear to be in or 6/8, but
the guitar over the top is almost in 4/4. I'll try and show this on the tab, with
v showing on the beat, and ^ showing off the beat.

This is repeated over most of the song.
Lets call "056400" G7, and "034200" Cm6
Intro G7 Cm6 G7 Cm6 G7 Cm6 G7 Cm6
G7
So I'm there
Cm6 G7
Charging around with a juggernaut brow
Cm6 G7
Overdraft, speeches and deadlines to make
Cm6 G7
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Cm6 G7
Telephone burn and a purposeful gait
Cm6 G7
When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Cm6
Of a song that I know
G7 Cm6
And the world moves in slow-mo
G7
Straight to my head
Cm6 G7
like the first cigarette of the day
Cm6 G7
And it's you, and it's May
Cm6 G7
And we're sleeping through the day
Cm6 G7
And I'm five years ago
Cm6 (G7)
And three thousand miles away
G7 Cm6 G7 Cm6
G7
Do I have
Cm6
time? A man of my calibre
G7 Cm6
Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager
G7
No.
Cm6
And I dealt with this years ago
G7 Cm6
I took a hammer to every memento
G7 Cm6
But image on image like beads on a rosary
G7 Cm6
pulled through my head as the music takes hold
G7 Cm6
and the sickener hits; I can work till I break
G7
but I love the bones of you
Cm6 G7
That, I will never escape
Cm6 G7
And it's you, and it's May
Cm6 G7
And we're sleeping through the day
Cm6 G7
And I'm five years ago
Cm6 G7
And three thousand miles away
Cm6 G7
And I can't move my arm
Cm6 G7
Through the fear that you will wake
Cm6 G7
And I'm five years ago
Cm6
And three thousand miles away

Hope you like it, took a while to get the Bridge right, but i'm pretty sure it is right.
