I hope this is a useful insight as to what both guitars are doing throughout the song.
It's not all that complicated, which makes me wonder how the other tabs managed to fall
of the mark. Anyway, turn up your drive, and slap on a bit of echo on your electric
to replicate the guitar sound on the record.

good tab but outro polayed by coxon is: e---------------------------| B--10-----------------------| G------9/8/9----------------| D--------------10-9-7-------| A----------------------5----| E---------------------------| apart from that epic tab!

its the same notes only higher on the neck..

the chorus is wrong! its a Bm instead of a G mate sorry but i guess it isnt as good as you say it is.
