I usually wait till the tab book comes out, so I don't work out stuff

that much, but it doesn't look like they're not making one for this

album, so here it is.

Intro Riff:

A:--------------------------------7-

E:0-0-12-0-0-12-0p3-0p5-0p7-0p7-9---

Repeat this four times, the other instruments come in after two.

After that

D:-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---

A:-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---

E:-0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---

Well it's just the Em chord, but

that's the timing. Remember, damp

it with your right hand.

Verse:

Em A

It's warm outside... ...Snow (Play the bottom three notes of

the A chord here with wah-wah)

G A

Window... ...Away (OK, when you play that G

play G:--12-10-12-10--)

E B

Deeper down... ...Mistake (Just down-strums here.)

A

This way...

Chorus:

E A E A

And June becomes July

E A E A

June becomes July

You get the idea. Now the tab here is this (sort of).

E:-------------------------------

B-------------------)-)-)--------

G:---)-)-)--------14-)-)-)-14-12- And repeat

D:-14-)-)-)-14-12----------------

A:-------------------------------

E:-------------------------------

OK, that looks really dodgy, it's hard to write that in tab.

Basically play the note on the 14th fret, bend it up, then down, then

up then down. Now it makes sense.

Tiny snare drum fill then

Verse 2: Well, just play this exactly the same as verse one. Then

Intro Riff, then

Verse 3, then

Intro Riff (Worth playing one more time.)

Then the guitar plays

B:--15-12--15-12--15-12--15-12-

While the bass plays the intro riff.

Then it gets a little atmospheric.

The guitar just plays the E chord once, with lots of flanger,

and the bass does something like

E:-0---3---5---7---9---10---11---12---0-

The guitar plays E as well on that last note.

Now for that little coda bit at the end.

There's an acoustic guitar picking individual notes in the Em chord

and then the electric guitar plays a riff in the key of E with warm

distortion on.

Acoustic:

E:---0------------

B:-------0--------

G:----------0-----And repeat.

D:-------------2--

A:-----2----------

E:-0--------------

Yeah, that's about right.

Electric:

E:----------------------------------------

B:----------------------------------------

G:-------------12------------------12--14-And repeat.

D:-------12-14----14--------12--14--------

A:-12h14--------------12h14---------------

E:----------------------------------------

Well, that's about it. Just a couple of things: I worked this out on

my acoustic cause the electric was in the other room so I couldn't

really work out all those twiddly trembolo bits that Steve Craddock

puts in. My guess is that they are based around the chord note so

they should be easy enough to work out. As I said, I don't work out

things much so please e-mail me telling me what you think (especially

with corrections). Thanks. And Sorry it's so long, I do tend to

ramble on a bit.
