Tab for Lucky Man (Urban Hymns, Track9). Tabbed by Simon McCarthy
Another great track from the best album of all time (in my opinion), although lead guitarist / god-like figure Nick McCabe doesn't play much of the song. The lead is mostly played by rhythm guitarist Simon Tong. The lead is played clean with compression and delay (The slightest bit of drive may help) and the ambient guitar noises are mostly clean as well.
Tuning: Standard
Scale: G bluescale
Capo: None
Guitar: Lead- Gibson ES355, other- Gibson Les Paul Goldtop / Fender Strat
Effects: Boss Compressor, Watkins Copycat Tape Echo, Alesis Quadraverb, Boss Digital Delay, Marshall Drivemaster, Roland Frequency Cleaner.

All the bars are filled up with sustained notes of chords with the pickup selector switch being moved back and forward with one pickups volume lower that the other. This ambient noise continues throughout the whole song.
