5 Colours In Her Hair Tabs

(ver. 1)
Mcfly
Hey this tab is correct or very near to it - I'm sure of it! The song is very Beatle-esque
and I really like it.  This tab is quite long - cause it covers most of the guitar parts. 
This tab took me ages to get to how it is now; I'm a perfectionist lol. Anyway, please bear 
with it, cause it will be worth the effort once you've learned it all.  Enjoy.

*high chords used in solo - probably just on the highest 3 strings eBG




RIFF/SOLO:  (this is guitar 2 part during INTRO, and has delay on it)

B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   -3-

E|-3-1-3-3---------------------------------------------------------------------   -x-

it is useful to learn this riff first and then learn the rest of the song


Throughout most of the song, both guitars are clean - no distortion

Guitar 1:                    by playing this last chord with an extra note, you are
                            /     effectively playing the tune to the intro as well

VERSE 1:


G                          F                    G
She's got a lip ring and 5 colours   in   her   hair...

G                          F                    D
Not into fashion  but  I   love the clothes she wears,

G                          F                    G

             C       D

She  don't  ca   -   re.


-----

CHORUS:
Both guitars play chords, though I think one uses open chords and one 
uses bar chords (the ones higher up the fretboard)


G                Em                C                D
Everybody        wants to know her na       -      me,

G                Em                C                D

C                D                 B                Em
Everyone  asked  me                Who the hell is  she? That

C                D                 G
