I'm sure the world would be grateful if someone else put together some
Echobelly tab for the net - it's hard work, so there's no way I can do it
all (especially as I still have college work to do too!!!)
Anyway, have fun! Here we go...
Chords:
-------
E 022xxx A 577xxx
F# 244xxx B 799xxx
Cm7 x35343 Bm7 x24232
B5 x244xx A#5 x133xx
G#5 466xxx C#5 9(11)(11)xxx (or x466xx)
Technically speaking, most of the chords mentioned above are 5th chords
but this is a modification I have made later and it would take too much
time to put in the 5's after every chord in the below transcription and it
would also completely muck up the format (the chords appear directly above
the words and solo guitar pieces as heard in the song) so, live with it,
basically! :)
Use mid-range distortion with bridge pickups.
(of course, this is solely my interpretation!)

There you go - it's quite easy (after all, I managed to transcribe it and,
well, lets just say I'm not the most experienced guitar player in the world!)
There are undoubtedly a few mistakes in it, so any corrections etc, please
mail to me at the above e-mail address.
Thanks
