Alex Winston

Tuning:Standard
For this song i pretty much used octaves the whole way through as it gives you the
closest sound with a guitar as you'll get.
I have two versions for the chorus, One following the vocal melody (which everyone likes
to play) and one simply backing.

Intro/Verse:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----5----------12---------7-------2---------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------x10--------------------------------|

Verse 2. Either repeat verse one or, repeat this everytime it comes back to the C (3rd 
Fret A String).
Im not going to tab it but just play around with the notes of a C major Bar Chord

Repeat Chorus (which does include "they're coming" bit)
Then Chorus lyrics with Verse chords (Swap the A (x0x2xx) for an E (x7x9xx) 1st time round)
Then "They're coming" the rest of the song.
