Tuning: B F# B E G# C# (Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps lower.
This is to get a low, bassy tone.)
Drum intro, then at 00:10:
C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12---------------| F#|-----------------------------| B |---12----------12-12-12-12---|
Repeat these four bars once more and then the verse starts at 00:24:
C#|---------------------------| G#|---------------------------| E |---------------------------| B |---------------------------| etc... F#|---------------------------| B |---12-12-0-10-12-12-0-10---|
At approximately 00:36-00:40, 00:45-00:50, and 00:56-01:00, only 10:s are played:
C#|--------------------------| G#|--------------------------| E |--------------------------| B |--------------------------| etc... F#|--------------------------| B |---10-10-10-10-10-10-10---|
Then there is a chorus (notice the variation!) at 01:03:
C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10------------------| F#|------------12---------------| Variation here! B |---12----------12-12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12----10----10---| F#|---------------------12------| B |---12----------12------------| C#|-----------------| G#|-----------------| E |-----------------| B |---12-12-10-12---| F#|-----------------| B |---12------------|
The second verse starts at 01:19 and is the same as the first one with the first '10 break'
at 01:31-01:35.
When Alison sings the first "Once in a while..." phrase at 01:38, Jamie plays this:
C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |-----------------------------| F#|-----------------------------| B |---12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---|
...and then another '10 break' immediately after that at 01:40-01:44.
Then return to the standard verse riff.
Repeat for the second "Once in a while/10 break" thing which is at 01:47.
At 01:56 there is another chorus (With another slight variation!):
C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10------------------| Variation here! F#|------------12---------------| B |---12----------12-12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12----10----10---| F#|---------------------12------| B |---12----------12------------| C#|-----------------| G#|-----------------| E |-----------------| B |---12-12-10-12---| F#|-----------------| B |---12------------|
Now, at 02:12, there is a cool noisy part:
C#|--------------------------------| G#|---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---| E |---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---| B |---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---| x2 F#|--------------------------------| B |---12-12-0--10-12-12-0--10------| C#|---------------------------| G#|---------------------------| E |---------------------------| B |---------------------------| x2 F#|---------------------------| B |---12-12-0-10-12-12-0-10---|
Repeat this 'cool noisy part' three times until the next chorus at 02:33:
C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10------------------| Variation here! F#|------------12---------------| B |---12----------12-12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12---------------| F#|-----------------------------| B |---12----------12-12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10------------------| F#|------------12---------------| Variation here! B |---12----------12-12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12----10----10---| F#|---------------------12------| B |---12----------12------------| C#|--------------------------| G#|--------------------------| E |--------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12------------| F#|--------------------------| B |---12----------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12---------------| F#|-----------------------------| B |---12----------12-12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10----12------------| F#|------------12---------------| B |---12-------------12-12-12---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---10-10-8-----10------------| F#|------------10---------------| B |---10-------------10-10-10---| C#|---------------------| G#|---------------------| E |---------------------| B |---5-5-3---3-5-------| F#|---------5-----------| B |---5-----------5-5---| C#|-----------------------------| G#|-----------------------------| E |-----------------------------| B |---12-12-10-12----10----10---| F#|---------------------12------| B |---12----------12------------|
Then a verse riff as outro at 03:18:
C#|---------------------------| G#|---------------------------| E |---------------------------| B |---------------------------| x4 F#|---------------------------| B |---12-12-0-10-12-12-0-10---|
End on:
C#|--------| G#|--------| E |--------| B |--------| F#|--------| B |---12---|
