it seem like the whole song is a riff ...the intro seems easy enough but then it gets very busy plus theres quite a bit going on with brass...is there any tabs for it
its a bit AC/DC ....cue for james....

Cannot find any tabs for it.
The riff seems to be something based around E - A - Asus 4 (or maybe D)
I can't seem to work it out though! Hopefully James can help...

No, It is the intro I can't work out. I know it is simple but I cannot find where they are playing it!

INTRO:
double click to enlarge
this is the
tab playing..so the sound is as good as it gets

the E chord is actually E/G# and the D is D/F#
edit:in the tab change 6 to 7 on the second chord of each bar

Thanks for this - it is almost spot on but I hear a difference between the first two chords in the recording, so unless I am hearing something that isnt there - which I may be?!!?

yeh its G# to A ( notes on the E chord ) before the D

Yes that is definitely the note. Though looking at this it is played lower down the neck

this is probably more rock and roll and easier play when your pi**ed ( tab should be open D chord )
this would be more fluent....E @the 9th pos etc
i would think it would be this ..since it seems to slide down to the 'D' ?
