Gentry Cove Tabs

(ver. 1)
Dirty Pretty Things
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

None of the over versions have quite got this song right so i decided 
to tab it myself.

For the intro just strum each of these chords once:
e|----------|
B|-(5)-(4)--|
G|--5---4---|
D|--5---4---|
A|--3---2---|
E|----------|
(The numbers in brackets are optional, 
but i think it sounds better with them.)

Then Carl plays this riff a couple of times through the song:
e|--7-------7-5-------|
B|----8-8-8-----8-5---|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------| x2

Followed by this:
e|--10-10-x-10-x-10-10-10-9-x-9-x-7--|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------| x2

Put on heavy distortion for the chorus. 
This is the rough strumming pattern, played very quickly:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--7--7-7--7-7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7--6--6-6--6-6-6--6--6-6--6-6-6--|
G|--7--7-7--7-7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7--6--6-6--6-6-6--6--6-6--6-6-6--|
D|--7--7-7--7-7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7--6--6-6--6-6-6--6--6-6--6-6-6--|
A|--5--5-5--5-5-5--5--5-5--5-5-5--4--4-4--4-4-4--4--4-4--4-4-4--|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-7--7-7--7-7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7/14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14\-|
G|-7--7-7--7-7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7/14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14\-|
D|-7--7-7--7-7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7/14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14\-|
A|-5--5-5--5-5-5--5--5-5--5-5-5/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12\-|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Also later on theres an interlude bit that goes like this:
e|------3---------3---|
B|--------3-------3---|
G|--4-5-----5-4---4---|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
Its repeated quite a few times and played in turn by each of the 2 guitars.

Thats all ive had time for so far, but ill update with the rest soon.
