DISTURBANCE AT THE HERON HOUSE (published in NME, sometime in 1989)

{The main riff goes something like this:}



(B) --keep a finger on the 3rd fret

(G) ---2-0-(0)-4-2-2-2-4---0---

(D) -0-0-0-(0)-0-0-0-0-0-2---0-

(A) -every other time, play this string open...



{I'm pretty sure that Peter is just picking a Dsus2 chord throughout

 the whole verse, but Mills is doing other "stuff" on the bass. I play

 the chords Dsus2 and Dsus2/C just to make it interesting.  I probably

 should pull out McCabe's Guitar Shop and see what they did there, huh?}
