                             ZOMBIES - Disco Ensemble
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning:EADG

This song is fairly straightforward and I'm fairly sure I've done a
good job on this one. It's a lot of fun to play with the song.


Verse 1:

G|----------------------------|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5----|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7----|

Repeat, before going to:

G|-----------------------|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|-----------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-|-5--5-5-5-5-4--4-4-4-4-|
E|-----------------------|-----------------------|

G|-----------------------|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|------------4--4-4-4-4-|
E|-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-7--7-7-7-7------------|

Then to:

G|----------------------------|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|
D|----------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5----|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|----------------------------|

The 4s on the g-string are the only part played in a different
rhythm to the guitar. They sound more like triplets.


Chorus 1:

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-3--3--3--3--3--3-|-3--3--3--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-7--7--7--7--7--7-|-7--7--7--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-3--3--3--3--3--3-|-3--3--3--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|-4--4--4--4--4--4-|
E|-5--5--5--5--5--5-|------------------|


Verse 2: starts with the ending of the chorus

G|----------------------------|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-5\-------------------------|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7----|

G|----------------------------|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5----|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7----|

G|-----------------------|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|-----------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-|-5--5-5-5-5-4--4-4-4-4-|
E|-----------------------|-----------------------|

G|-----------------------|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|------------4--4-4-4-4-|
E|-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-7--7-7-7-7------------|

G|----------------------------|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|
D|----------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5----|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|----------------------------|


Chorus 2: slightly different to 1st but starts the same

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-3--3--3--3--3--3-|-3--3--3--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|

E|-7--7--7--7--7--7-|-7--7--7--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-3--3--3--3--3--3-|-3--3--3--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|-4--4--4--4--4--4-|
E|-5--5--5--5--5--5-|------------------|

Then:

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--7--7--7-|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|------------------|------------------|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-9--9--9--9--9--9-|-9--9--9--7--7--7-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--7--7--7-|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|------------------|------------------|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-9--9--9--9--9--9-|-9--9--9--9--9--9-|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|------------------|------------------|


Verse 3: starts with just the bass
                                                          x4
G|----------------------------|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5----|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7----|

G|----------------------------|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5----|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7\---|


Chorus 3:

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-3--3--3--3--3--3-|-3--3--3--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-7--7--7--7--7--7-|-7--7--7--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-3--3--3--3--3--3-|-3--3--3--5--5--5-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|-4--4--4--4--4--4-|
E|-5--5--5--5--5--5-|------------------|

Then:

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--7--7--7-|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|------------------|------------------|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-9--9--9--9--9--9-|-9--9--9--7--7--7-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--7--7--7-|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|-9--9--9--9--9--9-|-9--9--9--9--9--9-|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|------------------|------------------|

Then: (I compacted it to save space, easier to read)
G|-----|-----|-----|-----|
D|-----|-----|-----|-----|
A|-----|-----|-----|-----|
E|--3--|--3--|--5--|--5--|

G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|
E|-7--7--7--7--7--7-|-7--7--7--5--5--5-|

G|-----|-----|-----|-----|
D|-----|-----|-----|-----|
A|-----|-----|-----|-----|
E|--3--|--3--|--5--|--5--|

G|------------------|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|------------------|------------------|
A|------------------|------------------|------------------|
E|-7--7--7--7--7--7-|-0--------5-------|-7----------------|

And that's it! I'm not 100% sure about the ending bit but it sounds fine when I play it 
along to the song.
Let me know if you come up with something different. Enjoy!
