Lots of tremelo in this song. The main riff plays in the second verse just like the first, but there is a second guitar doing palm-muted strumming so I tabbed that for verse 2. I suggest Abmaj7 = 435xxx in those spots. [Intro] Gm Ab* x8 [Verse 1]
Gm         Ab*               Gm        Ab*
Rolling up tab ends that the baby's collected

Gm              Ab*         Gm            Ab*
Waiting for the number that clicks on the wall.

        Gm   Ab*           Gm           Ab*
It's an open season on the weak and the feeble

      Gm       Ab*            Gm       Ab*
Their meagre ambitions, their impotent fury

        Gm           Ab*      Gm            Ab*
There's bullet proof glass in case there is trouble

   Gm           Ab*              Gm            Ab*
No doors in the building between this side and that side.
[Interlude] Gm Ab* x8 [Verse 2]
Gm         Abmaj7               Gm        F
I've tried to wrestle some unbalanced nightmare

Gm             Abmaj7       Gm              F
   Tell myself over that I     don't really live here

        Gm        Abmaj7      Gm           F
But the boys run away leaving blood on the pavement

      Gm           Abmaj7                Gm          Abmaj7
And a little crowd gathered to watch you    pick yourself up

Gm          Abmaj7       Gm    Abmaj7
Joining the queue at the video library

         Gm          Abmaj7     Gm        Abmaj7
To watch ninety five minutes of simulated torture
Gm Gm F x2 Gm F x8
Gm   Ab*   x12
(twelve-ish....)
[Verse 3]
    Gm              Ab*          Gm        Ab*
The conference hall rings to the standing ovation

    Gm        Ab*       Gm            Ab*
The people in blue ties rise from the podium

Gm         Ab*    Gm         Ab*
Crazy with power, blinded by vision

    Gm          Ab*           Gm         Ab*
The mass-chosen leaders for a brutalised nation
Gm Ab* x4
Gm     Gm   F  x2
No  No  No   No  No!
Gm F x4 [Outro] Gm Ab* x6 Gm Gm
Gm   Ab*
(to the end)
