We have an official Girlfriend In A Coma tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
So I couldn't find any tabs that were even remotely correct for this song so I figured
it out and here it is..
 
Capo: 5th fret
 
Standard tuning
 
Intro:
 
Listen to the song for timing. This is only the amount of times you play it.

Verses:
 
Guitar 1:
 
This part is only played while Morissey is singing. The first chord is a downward strum,
let it ring and then the chord that slides down is an up stroke.
 
E|------------------------|
A|-0~---------------------|
D|-0~-7^-x-7^s5-5^-x-5^-x-|
G|-2~-6^-x-6^s4-4^-x-4^-x-|
B|-3~-5^-x-5^s3-3^-x-3^-x-|
e|-2~-5^-x-5^s3-3^-x-3^-x-|
 
Guitar 2:
 
This might look confusing at first but listen very carefully to the song to see where to
play the notes.
 
E|-----------------------------------------|

D|-0---------------------------------------|
G|---2---------2-----------------2---------|
B|-------3---2-------0--------2-----3------|
e|-----2---0------3----3-2-0-----------0---|
 
Chorus:
 
Guitar 1:
 
E|--------------33333-------|
A|-22222---000--22222---000-|
D|-44444---222--00000---222-|
G|-44444---222--00000---222-|
B|-33333---222--00000---222-|
e|--------------22222-------|
 
Guitar 2:
 
Play this a few times.
 
E|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
G|-4-----------------------0------------------------|
B|----3-----3-----3--2--3-----3-----3-----3--2--3---|
e|-------2-----0-----------------2-----0------------|
 
And that's it! The ending chord is just a D major.

I was so confused by this tab until I realised the strings were tabbed the opposite way round from normal... Other than that, it's pretty good.
