DETUNE GUITAR 1 SEMITONE TO Eb
D# G# C# F# Bb D#

Intro:
D (x68886x) C# (x57775x)
-When playing the C#, hit the b and e strings with an up stroke.
VERSE:
-This is the basic verse melody, although it does fluctuate.
Stick around this and you should be ok. Play it in a relaxed way
with alternate picking.

Listen to the song to work out the pattern in which you play these chords.

| I love this song, I wish it had been the first Idlewild song I ever heard. It's not much good but Roddy Woomble's lyrics really grab me even though they're mostly shit and overindulgent. I bet he's done a theoryful degree and like the rest of us has no idea how to put it to good use. 1 | |
