The Smiths - The boy with the thorn in his side

THE BOY WITH THE THORN IN HIS SIDE - The Smiths Tabbed by: knighty123 Email: knighty_dan@hotmail.co.uk The intro I tabbed out isn't completely accurate as to how many strums of each chord to do, so just try it out and do whatever sounds good to yourself. In the verse, I'll put a '*' next to the Am chords, which you play briefly for a strum or two. Intro: (C-D x3) e------0-00-00----0-0-00-----------------0-00-00--00-0---2--23-20--2--| B------1-11-11----3-3-33-----------------1-11-11--00-0---3--33-33--3--| G------0-00-00----0-0-00-<-play-twice----0-00-00--00-0---2--22-22--2--| D------2-22-22----4-4-44---on-the-3rd----2-22-22--22-2---0--00-00--0--| A------3-33-33----5-5-55---play-this->---3-33-33--33-3----------------| E------3-33-33----5-5-55-----------------3-33-33--33-3----------------| this is where lyrics start the boy with the.... e------7-77-77-8-8-----5-55-5-55-55-----| B------8-88-88-8-8-----7-77-7-77-77-----| G------7-77-77-7-7-----7-77-7-77-77-----| D------0-00-00-0-0-----0-00-0-00-00-----| A---------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------| (as above) Am The boy with the thorn in his side D G Am* D How can they look into my eyes G Am* D And if they don't believe me now The intro is then played again and the above chords are repeated for the rest of the song.
