The Only One I Know
===============-The Charlatans
This was the Charlatans' second single (their first with a real
record contract). It also appeared on their debut album 'Some Friendly'
back when they had guitarist Jon Baker, who favoured more ambient,
effect-laden guitar sounds.

Behind the Hammond riff there's a Wah guitar playing some muted
strums with a bit of a funky rhythm.
Verse 1
During the singing the organ plays syncopated (off-beat) stabs
during the C7 and a distorted guitar joins in for Bb, Eb and F
just hitting the chords once then sustaining them. The wah
continues in the background.

This little riff is played behind all of the chords during the
chorus. It is heavily flanged (Chorus & Phaser effects).

Verse 2 (As first verse)
The only one I know, never cries, never opens her eyes,
The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away,
The only one I see, is mine as she walks down the street,
The only one I see, has carved her way into me.
Repeat Chorus twice then the F-G, F-G break.
Solo
Starts off with a little bass riff:

D|-----------------------|
A|--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--1--|
E|-----------------------|
Repeat this four times, drums enter after two.
This is the guitar solo; it's a pretty distorted sound with a bit of
reverse reverb. It's pretty easy, so keep your playing clean:

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 CHARLATANS 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.
