From the album “Suicide Handbook”
Tuning:EADGBE
Capo: 3rd Fret
Chords (relative to Capo):
320003 G
332010 C
554030 D* (Dsus2sus4?)
XX0232 D
X02210 Am
022000 Em
NB - A different version from the one on “Gold”. Three main differences are the tempo (slower), lyrics,
and a little guitar riff used in the intro and in between verse lines. This little riff is just the
notes B, C and D on the B string over a G chord. The way I play it is around the G chord shape, thus:
‘RIFF’ with/over G chord
e|-X--X--X--X--X---|
B|-0--1-—3--1--0---|
G|-0--0--0--0--0---|
D|-0--0--0--0--0---|
A|-2--2--2--2--2---|
E|-3--3--3--3--3---|
Concentrating on the ‘B’ String but holding the shape for ease and accuracy.
Intro:
‘RIFF’ G x 3
then harmonica over
G C D* G x 2
Verse 1:

G|-X--X--X--X--X---|
D|-X--X--X--X--X---|
A|-3--2--0--X--X---|
