Tuning:
I saw someone's tab and it wasn't quite right. Here's my version. I've got the main rift
parts and the bass guitar which keeps the song rhythm so it has to be there.
Standard tuning for guitar 1
Intro
'Rift 1'
|---------------|
|---------------| x4

The bass joins in after 1 bar with a solid D rhythm.
Now because there's no low D chord on a normal guitar you need to tune your Top E string
down to a low D note to give you that solid bass. If you're not sure how just Tune your
top string down so it sounds the same as your D string but lower.
Guitar 2 Intro (tuned with drop down D)
D chord

After the 4 bar intro the verses keep going with exactly the same 'Rift 1' on guitar1,
but guitar2 plays chords D G A D:-

Verse 1
DOn the floor of Tokyo
Or down in GLondon town to go, go
With the Arecord selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm Gdancing with myself
When there's Dno-one else in sight
In the Gcrowded lonely night
Well I Await so long
For my love vibration
And I'm Gdancing with myself
('Rift 1' cuts out on the chorus so guitar1 just plays the same chords as the verse)
Chorus
Oh Ddancing with myself
Oh Gdancing with myself
Well there's Anothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be Gdancing with myself
D(Let chord ring)
Verse (Rift 1 again)
If I Dlooked all over the world
And there's Gevery type of girl
But your Aempty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me Gdancing with myself
So let's Dsink another drink
'Cause it'll Ggive me time to think
If I Ahad the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be Gdancing with myself
Chorus (Just play chords)
Oh Ddancing with myself
Oh Gdancing with myself
Well there's Anothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be Gdancing with myself
D'(hit once)
Oh oh a-oh
G'
Oh oh a-oh
D'
Oh oh a-oh

Oh oh a-oh

At the end guitar 2 also does a kind of blues ending which goes
DD AA DD AA DD AA DD AA
GG DD GG DD GG DD GG DD etc... (This is on the drop down D string by the way) You don't
have to put it in but it sounds alright.
That's it. Hope you found it OK. Think it's pretty close. Comment if you think it's good
or bad. Cheers!
