  32.  
  33. Thats the intro, probably totally wrong, but nevermind. I think he actually plays the chords 8 times in a bar instead of seven, but I can't be bothered to change it now (I don't have a tab program, and can't get one 'cos I have an archimedes).
  34.  
  35. Play the intro once again with the words below :-
  36.  
  37. I am one of those
  38. Melodramatic fools
  39. Neurotic to the
  40. bone no doubt about it.
  41.  
  42. The next bit is just palm muted chords on the same pattern as above (can't be bothered to write it out again).

  64. The next bit is just
  65.  
  66. E(7th fret) B C#m B E(7th fret) B C#m
  67.  
  68.  
  69. The next bit is just a variant on the chords for the intro. Theres a standard strumming pattern, which isn't that difficult to work out. The chords are below :-
  70.  
  71. E(7th fret A) B(bar on 7th fret E) C#m(bar on ninth fret E)
  72. G#m(bar on fourth fret E) A(fifth fret E) E(7th fret A) B(7th fret E)
  73.  
  74. That should be adequate, apart from the ending. It's all in Emajor and good to muck about on the chords with. I know the ending, and if anyone is desperate for it then just tell me and I'll EMail it to you.

  93. I had a few queries on the C#5 chord in the orginal tab.
  94.  
  95. C#5 is just a power chord at the fourth fret A string. Here it is tabbed out.

  121. Those are the chords that finish the song.

  134. The 'x' below denotes an accent. All the other notes on the intro are palm muted. The rhythm is probably totally incorrect.
