This is the new song by Kasabian.
 
I've tabbed out the violin parts in addition to the guitar parts and how to achieve that
strumming sound.
 
 
Intro / Verse
e----------------------|---------------------|--------------------------------|
B----------------------|---------------------|--------------------------------|
G----------------------|---------------------|--------------------------------|
D----------------------|---------------------|--------------------------------|
A-7-10--7-10-7-10-7-10-|-7-10-7-10-7-10-7-10-|--------------------------------|
E----------------------|---------------------|-7-10-7-10-7-10-7-10-2-5-2-5-2-5|
It does that twice. Before bursting into the chorus.
 
In the Reading Festival, the other guitarist can be seen doing this.
e--19--21--17--|
B--------------|
G--------------|
He tremelo (plays them very quickly) picks these notes.
 
Chorus
e--------------------------------|
B--------------------------------|
G-9-999-12-121212--4-444--7--777-|
D-9-999-12-121212--4-444--7--777-|
A-7-777-10-101010--2-222--5--555-|
E--------------------------------|
To gain the effect he uses. You should use this strumming pattern (down (pause), down,
down). The first chord should be staccato'd (not sustained)

Hey, this tab is awesome man. Just wanted to say its a great song and you can play this song in various positions so I love it even more, :-D. I'm glad someone tabbed out the violin parts and the tremolo parts from the live takes (well the ones I've heard!). Any chance you could give me plus one a go? I believe the verse is A G C B A (bass atleast). Well, thanks for the tab!
