Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
This is my 'acoustic' tab of this song. Ideally you need two people to make this work with the lead in the break down. This is tabbed/derived from a live full band video. The tuning is Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-eb in the live video, which works great for a pair of electrics/fullband, however for solo acoustic i have changed the tuning to: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-D Basically it means you can play the open higher strings to give it a thicker sound. VERSE 1: The bass notes can be tricky to fit in but keep trying. The three basic phrases are: D |------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-8------------------8----------------9----------------------------|Let ring Db|------9------------------9----------------9-----------------------|Let ring Ab|----------6------------------7-----------------7------------------|Let ring Eb|-7--7---7-----------0--0---0---------9--9---9---------------------| when it hits 'one good night of sleep per year' play: D |-------| Bb|-------| Gb|---11--| Db|---9---| Then before it kicks in to the second verse strum it 8 times quick. listen Ab|---7---| to the song you'll see what bit I'm on about. Eb|---0---| The chords used (well, that i use for acoustic) are: (Some of the names may be slightly wrong) Bb EbMaj7(1) Cm9 EbMaj7(2) Gm7 D |--0-----0--------0-------0-------0-----0--| Bb|--0-----0--------0-------0-------0-----0--| Gb|--4-----8--------9-------4-------4--OR-4--|(Whichever you prefer/can manage Db|--4-----9--------9-------2-------4-----4--| Ab|--2-----7--------X-------2-------X-----2--| Eb|--------0--------9-------0-------4-----4--| NOTE: If you're playing this electric/full band some of these chords you'll want to simplify.

There's a Bbtombstone in the brush with my name on the front, But I had no guts to get "Here lies, he ran out of luckEbMaj7(1)" On the baBbck of it

[BREAKDOWN] gtr2 plays breakdown lead whilst guitar 1 plays: Bb Ebmaj7(2) Gm7 Ebmaj7(2) (listen for strumming) [VERSE 3] Bb (3 strums per chord here) EbMaj7(2) Can we act like we never broke each other's hearts?
And we sGm7mile, I don't know how you EbMaj7(2)felt from the start Bb (listen for strumming) Oh, that's vile, oh, I'm cruel, Oh it's gEbMaj7(2)oddamn mean I sGm7ure as hell know one EbMaj7(2)thing, You sure ain't dead to me
There's a few chords here and there im missing which are mostly just decoration, but i don't play them in my acoustic version. They're easy to figure out if you need them for a full band. Obviously i haven't written out the strumming patterns or timings, but you should be able to listen for those. Any questions hit me up at danwooldridge@live.co.uk
