Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Galmiriad This tab is for Johnny Marr's very nice melody/ riff that is actually played by a flute or pipes in the song. There are videos of him playing the riff itself on youtube. This is as close as I can get it,enjoy :) Be sure to use the chords shapes to play it, it's just an arpeggio on the chords. Not so important with the G though. Then you can strum a few extra notes to make it sounds better on the Fmaj7 hammer-on. EDIT: Improved version below. Previous version is at the bottom of the page.

Note: Use this chord shape I have written G* this is how Marr does it.
