@ "we kissed/time slipped" just play an abbreviated version
of the verse riff (dont go to the 4th chord)......

end on open low strings... => noiiiizzzeee

the outro isn't exactly "random" (particularly the live bit at
the very end), but i'm not going to tab it (for now..?).

Lee: GGDGGA

intro:

A--------------
G--------------
G--12~~~~~~----
D--------------
G--------------
G--------------

verse:

A-----------------------------------------------15-15^17--
G---------------------------------------------------------
G--12~-12~--14^12^14^12^14^12----------------------------- repeat
D---------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------12^14^12^14^12-------------
G---------------------------------------------------------

for the choruses, lee just does super noise slidy shit...

"summer in the city" riff @ 1:40:

A---------------------------------------------------
G--12~-12~-10-12-12~~--10-12-12~--10-12-12b-r12-10--
G---------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------

when vocals enter change to:

A--------------------------------------------------------------
G--12~-12~-10-12-12~~--10-12-12~-------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------8^10\13/10-8^10-12~~--
G----------------------------------10^12-----------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------

the lick at the end needs some work, but its close...

"we kissed/time slipped":

A--------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------
G-------0---10\12-12~~---\14~~~~--14-14\15~~---15-15-15\17~~~--
D--12~~--------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------

A-------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------- just bend up
G--17-17-17-17\19~~~---19~19~19~-22-22-22b(22)(22)(22)-- @ top frets
D---------------------------------------------------/--- + pick like mad
G---------------------------------------------------/---
G-------------------------------------------------------

when drums come back in, just keep picking away at the highest notes
furiously...... for the final chord i think play C @ the 5th fret.. ??

-------------

Kim: DADABB

verse:

B---------------12-x-7--7-7-0---
B---------------12-x-7--7-7-0---
A-------------------------------
D-------------------------------
A--5-5/12-12-12-----------------
D--5-5/12-12-12-----------------

chorus:

B--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--
B--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--
A-----------------------------------
D-----------------------------------
A-----------------------------------
D-----------------------------------

end the 2nd chorus at the 5th fret of the low D. she just lets
it ring during the "summer in the city" riff and comes in with
these remarkably subtle yet perfect notes when lee starts singing:

B----0--
B----0--
A--0---- play those 3 times then go to 10th fret on Bs
D------- for "we kissed..."
A-------
D-------

it sounds like kim uses a bit of an octave fuzz type thang on this tune.

back to verse riff and end on C.

thanx to amy @ sweetshine.com
