Riff used throughout song:
Ex-------------------------------------------
Bx-------------------------------------------
Gx-------------------------------------------
D--9-9-12-12-7-7-9-9---9-9-14-14-7-7-9-9--
A--9-9-12-12-7-7-9-9---9-9-14-14-7-7-9-9--
E--7-7-10-10-5-5-7-7---7-7-12-12-5-5-7-7--
These notes are also individually picked from E up to D in the same chord formation by another guitar (or, in their case, overdubbed). It varies a little in some parts from the four main chords' pattern, but it's the same four chords picked.
Rhythm speeds up when the vocals kick in. Guitar punctuates key words in the lyric.
D--9-------------12---7----9---
A--9-------------12---7----9---
E--7-------------10---5----5---
"Work very hard, but I'm lazy..."
D--9-------------14---7----9---
A--9-------------14---7----9---
E--7-------------12---5----5---
"I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show..."
Chorus uses main riff at top, till this part:
D--14-14-------------7-7-
A--14-14-------------7-7-
E--12-12-------------5-5-
"Make a cup of tea, put a record on..."
Little ditty riff played after chorus:
D--16--14--12/13/12-11--------------------
A-----------------------14--12--11/12/11-9
E-------------------------------------------
Here's another way of playing the main four chords:
Ex
G-------------------------------------------
B------7-7----------------9-9---------------
D--9-9-7-7-7-7-9-9---9-9-9-9-7-7-9-9------
A--9-9-5-5-7-7-9-9---9-9-7-7-7-7-9-9------
E--7-7-----5-5-7-7---7-7-----5-5-7-7-------
It's much easier on the fingers.
This song is my theme song...

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 ELASTICA 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.
