Those nifty powerchords in the beginning
Cm7 B5
EADGBE EADGBE
x32400 x24400
in between crankin'this chord, you play a little descending run on the
G-string
G-----4-4-4p2p0---
It's an E-when Greg starts screaming, but that's all I remember right now.

It`s a tricky one, I`ll admit to that. I don`t have my guitar with
me, so I`m not 100% on this, but it`s some kind of c-cord, and then goes
into c/h for the refrain.
The opening is like this:
0=open x=muted
Funky
low x x x x x x x x x x
3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
x x x x x x x x x x
4 4 4 4 4 4 2 2 0 2
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
The refrain continues in the same way, only alternating between c
and h (B?) on the fifth string(3&2 second fret).
The rest of the song basically follows suit. Just find out what John
is playing, and take it from there.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official AFGHAN WHIGS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
