Yes I Am A Long Way From Home Tabs

(ver. 2)
Mogwai
I wanted to share this with you. it's from the unofficial mogwai site 
brightlights.youngteam.co.uk:

   taken from the album Young Team

b - bend   /or\ slide note   h - hammer on   p - pull off   H - harmonic


Bass line plays for a bit then guitar starts with this bit
e-----------|
b-----------|
g-------9---|  x6
d---7-------|

followed by this riff

main riff - this is repeated until the harmonics bit is reached
e----------------------------|

the main riff in between

The main riff isn't played anymore - there's these nice harmonics instead.
Repeat them until the bass starts again and then improvise using the same harmonics.

There's some quiet guitar noise before the big distorted bit, but I don't know
what it is (but it sounds kind of like A).

Big distorted chords.

d---11--11-11-\-7--7-7---7--7-7--7-7--|

the rest

e-----------------|
b-----------------|
g-----------------|
d---7--7-7--7-7---|
a---7--7-7--7-7---|
