Listen to the record as it is a little complicated. This is my first tab, so here goes:) This is the main verse with rhythm and is played once for the intro. Where ive put the chords C Bm C above the lyrics for the verse, this is what you should play. G Bm C --3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|----- --3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-1-1-0-0-1-1-0-0-|-1-1-0-0-1-1-0-0-|----- --0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|----- --0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|----- --2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|----- --3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-----------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|----- This riff is played after you have played the main riff once for the end of the intro, just before the first verse starts. I will call it "Riff 1". Note when this is played during the song, other than the intro (except for the third time in the coda) the last note (A) isn't played. D -2-2-2-2-2-------------------------------------------------------------------- -3-3-3-3-3--------3-----3----------------------------------------------------- -2-2-2-2-2------0-----0------------------------------------------------------- -0-0-0-0-0-------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------3-----2-----0--------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This riff is played once over the intro chords, and again later in the song. I shall call it "Riff 2". The chords above are the chords it is played over (the rhythm). G Bm C C -10---------------|-10--------------|-8---------------|-8---------------|----- ----------7---8---|---------7---8---|---------7---8---|---------7---8---|----- ------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----- ------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----- ------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----- ------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----- Play the main riff one with riff 2(if you have two guitars available) and then riff 1 Verse 1 G Bm C There�s no mistake I smell that smell It�s that G time of year again Bm C I can taste the air Verse 2 G Bm C Clocks go back, railway track G Something blocks the line again Bm C And the train runs late for the first time Link (Play the main riff, G Bm C) G Bm C Pebble beach, we�re underneath a Pier G just been painted red Bm C Where I heard the news for the first time Middle 1 Em D5 And all the friends lay down the flowers Am7 Sit on the bank and talk for hours, C talk of the way they saw him last G Bm C Local boy in the photograph_______Today Verse 4 (riff 2 played twice, starting at the first G chord) G Bm C He�ll always be twenty-three G yet the trains run on and on Bm C Past the place they found his clothing riff 1 riff 1 A bye - bye - bye - bye-bye riff 1 Bye - bye-bye riff 1 Am7 Bye, bye________________ Verse 5 G Bm C There's no mistake, I smell that smell, G It's that time of year again.
