Standard Tuning (both guitars)

Update 18/07/07: Verse/Refrain was wrong.

The other tab is nearly right for this, but watching some live videos.. it's

slightly different. This is my version of it. Enjoy :)

_____________________________________________________________________________

VERSE [0:00]

_____________________________________________________________________________

The first verse has a very acoustic feel; try and hear the rhythm of Tom's

guitar for this section. The notes on the G strings aren't loudly played.

Tom

 
 e|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
 B|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
 G|-9--9--9--9-/|-11-11-11-x--|-4--4--4--4-/|-5--5--5--5--|

 E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

[E5] [D] [G] [C5]

I still love the light on baby .. etc

Then Russell on bass and Chris on lead come in. Tom plays this chord pattern 4

times again, with Chris playing this at the last bar the first and third times

(listen to it if you're confused :P):

_____________________________________________________________________________

VERSE [0:53]

_____________________________________________________________________________

Tom takes a break. But no kitkat, he's singing.

 G|-------------|-------------|
 D|-------------|-------------| x4
 A|-------------|-------------|

_____________________________________________________________________________

CHORUS [1:05]

_____________________________________________________________________________

Same as the the first chorus.

_____________________________________________________________________________

BREAK [1:18]

_____________________________________________________________________________

Tom

 G|-9-----11----|-4-----5-----|-9-----11----|-4-----5-----|

 A|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
 E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

_____________________________________________________________________________

VERSE/REFRAIN [1:32]

_____________________________________________________________________________

Live they play this slightly differently, and I can't really hear Tom's guitar (at

all) so... if you like, play the E in the chorus. If you think Tom plays something

and you know what it is.. please tell :).

Chris

 
 e|-#12#--------|-#12-12#-----|-#14#----#17-|-#19#--------|
 B|-#12#--------|-#14/15#-----|-#17#----#17-|-#19#--------|
 G|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
 D|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
 A|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
 E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

(massive echo all the time)

_____________________________________________________________________________

BREAK [1:45]

_____________________________________________________________________________

Tom (all the way through the break)

 
 e|-------------|
 B|----5--------|
 G|----4--------|
 D|----2--------| strummed a few times on its own first.
 A|----2--------|
 E|-------------|

Then Chris comes in

[1:47]

Chris

 
 e|-12----------|-12--12------|
 B|-12----------|-12--12------|
 G|-------------|-------------| x4
 D|-------------|-------------|
 A|-------------|-------------|
 E|-------------|-------------|

(keep with the echo)

_____________________________________________________________________________

CHORUS [2:01]

_____________________________________________________________________________

Same as the first and second choruses the first time. Then Tom carries on and

Chris goes up an octave, so it's instead:

Chris

 
 e|-15----14----|-15----12----|
 B|-------------|-------------|
 G|-------------|-------------|
 D|-------------|-------------| x8 (over Tom's chords)
 A|-------------|-------------|
 E|-------------|-------------|

END! :)

Thanks for reading.

LYRICS

_____________________________________________________________________________

VERSE

I still love the light on baby

It keeps me awake but I don't mind

Everything I always wanted

Is right there but soon it won't be

CHORUS

Oh, if fortune favours the brave

I am as poor as they come

I've got a million things to say

I've got a million things to

VERSE

I still love the light on baby

It keeps me awake but I don't mind

Everything I always wanted

Is right there but soon it won't be

CHORUS

Oh, if fortune favours the brave

I am as poor as they come

I've got a million things to say

I've got a million things to

VERSE/REFRAIN

I am as poor as they come

I've got a million things to say

I've got a million things to (ohhhhh)
