I WANT THE ONE I CAN'T HAVE - The Smiths Tabbed by: emilym80 E-mail: emilym80@hotmail.com These are the fills/lead parts for "I Want The One I Can't Have", from The Smiths' second album, "Meat Is Murder". The rhythm is essentially just the chords, which I've included at the bottom. I just copied and pasted them from abbo1uk's chords, they're exactly the same. Tab relative to capo, not nut. Guitar by Johnny Marr. Tuning: Capo 2nd fret or tuned up to f#.
