We have an official Beetlebum tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
ok this is similar to the tab of Ash's 'Sometimes' i made a while ago. i looked at the
already here and picked out the parts which sounded right. i then made a few alterations
expanded upon the outro riff. i take no claim to the entire work as i completed it with
use of the tabs already online and they deserve more praise of attempting the track first.
 
Anyways enjoy.

Chorus:

And when she lets me slip away
    G           A
She turns me on and
Am                F
All my violence gone
            Am
Nothing is wrong
       F
I just slip away and then
A#   C
I am gone
    G            Am
Nothing is wrong
      F          Am
She turns me on
          F
I just slip away and then
A#   C
I am gone
 
repeat once and then the outro is:
 
A
He`s on, He's on, He's on, yeah
C
He`s on, He's on, He's on, yeah
F
He`s on, He's on, He's on, yeah
G                        A#
He`s on, He's on, He's on, yeah
 
and this riff played over:
 
e----------------------|
B-/10------------------|
G-----8-9--------------|
D---------10-10-9\-----|
A------------------5-7-|
E----------------------|
 
this sequence is repeated a bit, then after a while it becomes purely instrumental, so
until the song abruptly ends.
