Sitting in my room, listening to the radio, I heard this great song and, being the fabulous genius that I am, figured out how to play it. So, here is the chord sequence.

Main verse/chorus:

A, D

The chords work best if you hammer down and sharpen the last fretted notes on each one (if you know what I mean, like sharpen the last note you're pressing down), adding a little harmony in there. Then, for the filler-change bit, it's a good old:

D, C, G, A

Which is pretty easy if you play bar chords...but it sounds best played as normal chords (exception of the hammer down bits).

There, aren't I a nice guy? Oh, and the intro is just playing on the top E string 7th and 9th frets with a piano doing the chords.

Don't say I never did anything for you. Thanks to be posted in this thread :-D

Simple 5>4>1 chord progression. On the end of every twelve bar blues...assuming they start on G.

And for that fool Grapo:

The song was titled Grace as a woman called that kept coming into the recording studio trying to get them to give money for "save the children"... and they showed her Mars through their telescope and she ate their chips and drank their coke.

Alright, calm down now, its just a guitar tab.
No call for profanities.

Tried playing the chords on me guitar and the D to C to G chord change sounds nice.

Actually, I think this is the only tab of this certain song, as it's so new. So shut your mouth and get out of my thread.

You're probably right. Although I have never heard the Supergrass one the Jeff Buckley track would be bloody hard to beat.
And yes, I was half-joking that Supergrass nicked the title. I very much doubt that Gaz Coombes sat down and thought; "Hmmm, that seems like a good title for a song, I think i'll nick it".

I'll trust you both that the song is good...but I doubt Supergrass 'stole' the title. Unless you were joking of course.
