Alright, here's the riff that's played along with the verses (I'll call
it "main riff"):

h=hammer on

B5/A B5 B5/A B5 B5/A B5 B5/A B5 D E2 D
e---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--4-4-4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4---7-7-7-7--9-9--7-7-

I think the above riff is correct. If you don't think so, try this:

s=slide

Verse 1

[NOTE: play below chords just like main riff above]

B5
What was that sound ringin' around your brain?
D E2 D B5
Today was just a blur, you got a head like a ghost train
What was that sound ringin' around your brain?
D E2 D B5
You're here on your own, who you gonna find to blame?

Pre-chorus
----------
B5 D A B D A
You're the outcast you're the underclass
B5 D A B5 D A
But you don't care because you're living fast


Chorus
------

You're the uninvited guest that stays till the end
G E

D--5--5--------2--2----
A--5--5--------2--2----
E--3--3--3-2-1-0--0----

Verse 2
-------
Bring it on down. Bring it down for me.
Your head's in a fish tank
your body and your mind can't breathe

Pre-Chorus
----------
You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast

Chorus
------
You're the uninvited guest who stays till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the sole of my shoe tonight

[song ends on a "B" chord]

There is something about this song that gets a powerful reaction out of me every time I hear it. As far as I am concerned only a true masterpiece can do that.

I only came to appreciate this song recently and because they were going to play it in the show. I must say I like it a lot right now, it's Oasis back in 1994, young and rebel, feeling outcasted and looked down on by the upper society.

Particularly meaningless lyrics IMO, however its still very much a rock n roll song that gives you the oasis attitude/swagger. cool as ice

-Bowing down to macman2511. -From the single and the album… -It aint meaningless. -Cocaine… Where??? Yet maybe ¨You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who¨ is to do with weed… cause it leads to paranoia… but then maybe not. -Oasis, or else Noel and Liam, are the narrative voice ¨I know (you've got a problem that the devil sends)¨ So it aint about them being looked down by the upper classes… the Gallaghers look down on the higher classes… how can noel feel outcast? -revolution? You gotta be kidding me. -key phrase.. ¨ You're the uninvited guest who stays 'till the end¨ it sums it all. -offensive needless to say. Safe journey home.

I'd relate the lyrics to taking too much cocaine. The last line sums it up with style. The mix of buzzin elation and paranoia. A class above 'The Streets' attempts at conveyin this, and I think The Streets are decent.
