[Intro]
 
Am
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am          G
Little black submarines
D      A
Operator please
Am         G       A
Put me back on the line
Am           G
Told my girl I'd be back
D      A
Operator please
Am       G          A
This is wrecking my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am         G
Oh, can it be
    D              A
The voices calling me
A   B   C         D      A
They get lost and out of time
  Am                G
I should've seen it glow
    D         A
But everybody knows
       C      D        A
That a broken heart is blind
A   B   C     D        A
That a broken heart is blind
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am          G
Pick you up, let you down
D      A
When I wanna go
Am         G       A
To a place I can hide
Am           G
You know me, I had plans
D      A
But they just disappeared
Am       G          A
To the back of my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am         G
Oh, can it be
    D              A
The voices calling me
A   B   C         D      A
They get lost and out of time
  Am                G
I should've seen it glow
    D         A
But everybody knows
       C      D        A
That a broken heart is blind
A   B   C     D        A
That a broken heart is blind
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am G D A
Am G A   x3
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am          G
Treasure maps, fallen trees
D      A
Operator please
Am         G       A
Call me back when it's time
Am           G
Stolen friends and disease
D      A
Operator please
Am       G          A
Pass me back to my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am         G
Oh, can it be
    D              A
The voices calling me
A   B   C         D      A
They get lost and out of time
  Am                G
I should've seen it glow
    D         A
But everybody knows
       C      D        A
That a broken heart is blind
A   B   C     D        A
That a broken heart is blind
 
 
[Outro]
 
Am G D A
Am G A   x4

As I said at the start of the tab, I tabbed it for solo acoustic guitar. I don't have an electric as of yet, and like you said, he goes too fast for me to properly transcribe it by ear.

solo? he goes so fast towards the end of it I can't figure out what he's doing.
