Auto-scroll

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Me E-mail: [email protected] Clean sound, finger pick. Live, there is some variation to each lick (namely, bass tends to hit the open E then slide up to the 12th fret instead of following with the double open in time with the guitar).

Intro:
(I don't think the bass plays this on the recording, but live they tend to)
(The five notes are played fast, in time with when the guitar plays the opening chord faster)
G|------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|
E|---0000-0----------0000-0-----|

In the recording, you hear what may be the guitar hitting the low E or a second guitar/bass (not entirely sure)
So play this in time with that.
G|------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|
E|---00-----00-----00-----00----|

Starting at about 0:51 in:
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|  (I think David only does 12-10-8~-78 on
A|------------------------------------------------|  the first one and doesn't hit the 12th fret
E|---12-10--8~-788-----10-8~-788-----12--0~--00---|  after, but live tends to be as written)

G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---12-10--8~-788-----10-8~-788-788----12--0~--00---|

G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---12\8~-788-----10-8~-788-788----12--0~--00-------|

G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------|
E|---10-8--10-8--10-8--10-8--0~--00---|

G|--------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
E|---10-8--10-8--10-8--10-8--0~--/12~---|

(When Peter goes into the whole "Sky will open soon, could be today..." bass drops out while he sings/speaks.)
During the break between the spoken parts, bass returns and plays in time with the guitar:
G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------| (Hard to convey exact note count and spacing
A|------------------------------------| listen to guitar strumming and follow that
E|---0-0-0000-0-000-0/1212-12121212---| shifting up to 12th fret about halfway through)
