Tabbed by Frederic Maquet

The Am chord is sometimes “sussed” to add a transition, but mostly
chords
are just strummed once with lots of echo and reverb and a bit of
distortion. The strumming can be slightly tricky if you’re singing at
the same time, so listen to the record to get it right.

e:—————–0—– —-1——–0—- —— ——————–

B:—————–0—– —-1——–0—- —— ——————–

G:—-5————0—– —-2——–1—- —— —0h2—–0h4—–5

— x2

D:-7——–7——2—– —-2——–0—- –x2– —0h3—–0h5—–7

A:—-7————2—– —-3——–2—- —— —–3—–0h5—–7

E:-5—————3—– —-1——–0—- —— —–1——-3—–5

Verse 1:

——–

Verse 2: (same chords as previously) Chords have more echo here

——–

Verse 3:

——–

Same as verse 1, except with strings..Also, 2nd Am is sussed,
if you see what I mean…(play 2nd Am as Am->Asus4->G6)

Until:

Break:

——

Play Verse 1 again (the same way as in intro).
Ends on: Am
“…this wrong.”

Other ways of playing some chords:

———————————-

Fmaj7 Amsus4 Am G6 or

e:–0—————0—–3–0–
B:–1———5—–1—–5–0– The 1st G6 voicing is a bit crap,
G:–2———7—–2—–4–0– but Fmaj7 and Am and 2nd G6 are easier
D:–3———7—–2—–x–0– to play like this on an accoustic
A:–3———7—–0—–5–2– and sound better..
E:–0———5———–3–3–
