Flat Tuning Eb Ab Db Gb

I learned this with the aid of a guitar tab of the old acoustic bootleg.
This version is a bit different though.

I find it's best to keep in time with the guitar, which is 6 beats per bar.

/ - slide up
 - slide down

(you don't have to slide it,  but Melissa/D'arcy does sometimes, and I think it 
sounds nicer =)

Riff #1 (intro/verse/outro)

Gb|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-000-000--000-000-/-999-999--999-999--777-777--777-777--555-555-|

Riff #2 (chorus)

Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444--222-222--222-222-/-555-555--555-555--000-000--000-000-|

Gb|-----------------------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------------------|
Ab|-----------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444--222-222-/-555-555--555-555-|

Back to the verse, then -

Riff #3 (chorus 2)

Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444--222-222--222-222-/-555-555--555-555--000-000--000-000-|

Gb|----------------------------------------------------------|
Db|----------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-444-444--444-444--999-999-/-222--222-/-555-555--555-555-|

Then right after that there's

Riff #4 (Bridge)

Play this only one beat per bar at first, then build up with the band.

Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-0--------0---------4--------4--------0---0----5---5----4---4----4---4---|

Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-0---0----5---5-----4---4----444-444-/-777-777--777-777--555-555--444-444-|



And then back to the Riff #1 coda to end the song. Simple song, nice timing, great album.
Download it!

Enjoy!
