This song is brilliant, to get it sounding like the record
you need a bit of Reverb so it echoes :)

Great tab, awesome song. Here is an alternate way to play the break. Just bar across 4 and use your 4th finger on 7:


e|-------------------------------------|
B|----4-4-------4-4--------------------|
G|-----4-4-------4-4-----4-4------4-4--|
D|-6---------6--------6-6-6-6--6-6-6-6-|
A|7-7-------7-7------4-4------4-4------|
E|-------------------------------------|

And with the outro you can play it like this:


e|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------|
G|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
D|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---------------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--|

Whoops, I screwed up the spacing there. It should be like this:


e|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------|
G|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-44-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
D|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-----------------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--|
