Ive been trying to find a tab of this for ages, so i thought id have a stab at it..
This is main riff pattern that i think is just played over and over throughout the song.
Its played quite loosely, i prefer to hit the bass notes of the chords then strum the
higher notes slightly afterwards so thats why the chords appear slightly off-kilter.
Havent got a clue what the A? actually is, sounds a bit diminished but not sure....anyway
hope its ok!Enjoy!!
 
RIFF 1
 
   C      B/C     A   A?
E-----8------------5--5
B-----8------------5--5
G-----9----9-------6--5  substitute the A? (dont know what chord that is)
D---10-----10-----7---6  with a standard barred D chord
A---10-----10-----7---6
E---8------7------5---5
 
               C   B/C              A      A?
You gonna look fine, be primed for dancing
 
          C              B/C                 A    D
You gonna trip and glide along the trembling plane
 
REPEAT OVER FOR REST OF SONG I THINK
 
Substitute the A? with a standard barred D chord when you get to the end of the second line ie
E-5
B-7
G-7
D-7
A-5
E--
 
This is my first tab but i think it sounds ok.
Dont ask about the solo, i cant double track with an acoustic!
Any suggestions, opinions send to matt@moodguru.co.uk

The A is Am followed by Fm in first line of the verse. Then C Em G7, C Am D7. C G7 C to end the verse.

If you had written the lyrics or how many times to play it it would have been a god tab.
