I haven't seen any decient Sam Roberts Band tabs online yet, so I thought I'd give it a shot. The Sam Roberts Band has up to 3 seperate guitar parts in any given song. This tab details the main rhythm guitar part.

Note: Standard tuning

PART 1:

           Amaj    Amaj  Dmaj
e |-----0-------0------2------
b |-----0h2-----0h2----3------
g |-----0h2-----0h2----2------
d |-----0h2-----0h2----0------
a |-----0-------0-----(0)-----
E |-----x-------x------x------

PART 2:

           Emaj    Amaj
e |-----0-------0-------------
b |-----0-------2-------------
g |-----1-------2-------------
d |-----2-------2-------------
a |-----2-------0-------------
E |-----0-------x-------------

PART 3:

           Amaj   Emin        Dmaj
e |-----0-------0------|---2---
b |-----2-------0------|---3---
g |-----2-------0------|---2---
d |-----2-------2------|---0---
a |-----0-------2------|--(0)--
E |-----x-------0------|---x---

Note: There is a brief key change here. In this section you play an Emin NOT an Emaj as performed in Part 2.

Note: Only play Dmaj at end of section.

PART 4:
 
                        Amaj
e |----------------------0----
b |----------------------2----
g |----------------------2----
d |---------------2-4-5--2----
a |---------2-3-5--------0----
E |-----3-5--------------x----

Note: The riff is a major scale progression from G to G. LYRICS

(1)
Oh the Milky Way has gone a little sour
The leaves dried and the flower fell away
I’ve been sitting, I’ve been waiting for a sign
Inhuman beings taking up all of my time

(1)
Want to leave but I’ve got to stay
And I’m wondering more everyday
Montreal to Hong Kong
Where have all the good people gone?

Traffic jam but I’m on the shoulder
Took ten cops to pull me over
Bangkok to Babylon
Where have all the good people gone?

(1)
I haven’t met a friend in a long long while
They don’t check my head but they check my style
The modern world is a cold cold world
And all I meet are cold cold girls

(2)
Want to leave but I’ve got to stay
And I’m wondering more everyday
Montreal to Hong Kong
Where have all the good people gone?

Traffic jam but I’m on the shoulder
Took ten cops to pull me over
Bangkok to Babylon
Where have all the good people gone?

(3) And it’s always the same
We all just turn away
We are stealing from ourselves
We are feeding off ourselves
But we were born in a flame
We need a cool breeze and a summer rain
We are stealing from ourselves
We are feeding off ourselves

(1)
Come on, Come on
Oh the Milky Way has gone a little sour
The leaves dried and the flower fell away

(2)
Want to leave but I’ve got to stay
And I’m wondering more everyday
Montreal to Hong Kong
Where have all the good people gone?

Traffic jam but I’m on the shoulder
Took ten cops to pull me over
Bangkok to Babylon
Where have all the good people gone?
Time’s up and we’re running long
Where have all the good people gone?

(4)
Whoa oh
Oh whoa...
