Black Country, New Road – Up Song (Guitar Intro Tab)

Spent some time after the Austin concert transcribing Lewis’
sax part to guitar. Might update later with the stuff after
the whole band comes in?
IMO to get a sound approximating the sax, do your best to
play staccato: take your fingers off each fret when you’re
done with the note. Very pianoish feel to the riff.
[Intro]

[Verse 1]

A|------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------|
In the recordings I have, Lewis becomes pretty indistinct
once the whole band comes in, and I can’t remember what it
sounded like. He brings back the same riff for one measure
during the second verse but otherwise does different saxy
stuff.
HMU if you devise an easier way to play the B string portion.
