After playing that part for a bit, Brian comes in with "None of you
can make the grade" and under this you play the pre-chorus part.

[Pre-Chorus]

|--11-11-11-12--11-11-11-12--11-11-11-12--11-11-11-12--|

|---0--0--0--0---0--0--0--0---0--0--0--0---0--0--0--0-------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|

After doing that part a few times round we come into the chorus.

[Chorus]

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5------------------|

|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--|

Repeat the chorus again and go back into the verse.  After doing the
verse, pay the pre-chorus and go back into the chorus and play it
twice.  After all this, Brian starts playing some harmonics and under this
you simply play the pre chorus twice.  You again go into the chorus, play
it round twice and play under Brians harmonics with the pre-chorus again.
Finally, just before Brian finishes the song with the harmonics by
himself, you play;

|--11-let-ring......-----------------------------11-let-ring.....--|
|-------------------------12-let-ring......------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------|
|--12-let-ring......--|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|

Fin!!  A great song to play but a bugger to write.

During the first verse of this song I'm sure there's no bass so wait until
the chorus.

[Chorus]

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4-4-4---8-8-8--8-8-8-8---8-8-8--|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

|-----------|
|-----------|
|--8-8-8-8--|
|-----------|

Repeat the chorus x3 after playing that round once.

[Verse]

|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|--2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2--4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4--|

|---------|
|---------|
|---------|
|--4-4-4--|

Repeat that bit again until you do the chorus (which is repeated 4 times).

After all that, Brian starts singing " 1, 7, 2, 3, 9, 8, 5, I gotta
breath to stay alive ".  Under this play:

|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|--2-let-ring......------2-2-/-9-\-2-let-ring......------2-2--|

|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|--/-9-\--2--2-2-2--2-2-2-/-9-9-9-9-9--9-9-9-\--|

Repeat that a few more times and keep repeating it after Brian has
stopped singing.  After all that play the chorus twice and end it all
by playing the second fret on the E string once and letting it ring
until it fades out and the song ends.

I'm sure in the verse when Brian sings while playing the acoustic
there is no bass but here's a bass line which goes quite well under it
if you want to play along:

[Verse]

|-----------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------|

|-----------|
|-----------|
|--3-3-3-3--|
|-----------|

[Chorus]

|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|--1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|

|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|

Repeat something like 4 times (I don't have the albumn on me at the moment) but
on the last time before the didgeredoo comes in end on the 4th fret on the E string.

The next bit is where Brian does a sort of a solo:

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------3-3-3--6-6-6-6--|
|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------|

|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|--8-8-8--10-10-10-----|
|-------------------8--|

Repeat 3 times before doing the ending to it (below):

|-------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------|

|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
|-------------------|

Repeat the chorus 4 more times and let Brian play out quietly on the
acoustic, done!!!

A really weird tune especially the lyrics.  Instead of having chorus,
pre-chorus, outro, verse etc... I will list what order the riffs go in
after tabbing them all out.

Thats all!!  Looks hard but its just getting it in the right order
which takes a bit of practice.  Until the next albumn,  see ya!
