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


Hey guys, this is an update on a tab I did years ago, its for the weight (the opener to 
editors' fourth album). I already tabbed the demo acoustic version of the song back when 
it was called "The weight of your love" but here's the album version

Opening riff

B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-/8-/7-/13-------/8-/7-/12------/8-/7-/13------/8-/7-/3--------------------|

Verse Riff

Rhythm Guitar

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------3---------0-----0--------0--------0----0--------------------------|
D|------0--0------0--0-----0-----0--0-----0--0----0--------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3---------3---------3------1------3---------3----------------------------|

or alternatively play this

G|------3-----0----0--------0----0----0---------------------------------------|

D|-------2------2---2--------8-----8----8------------------------------------|

While this happens the bass kicks in and does this

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|----8(8)---8(8)---(8)----5------5-----5-----3-----3------3-----------------|
