The Wedding Present

Hi. this is my first real attempt at tabbing, so please feel free to submit anything you have that works better...

This is the Peel sessions version (i.e. the one with guitars)

Intro/chorus: I find it easiest to hold the following shape for this part:


e-------3--------
B-------3--------
G-------2--------
D----------------
A----------------
E----------------

But keep in mind that you have to keep a finger spare. The picking pattern is as follows (listen to the track for timings)

e------------------------------------------3---------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------3-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------------------
G--------2-4-4-4-4-4-2-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The verses are really really really easy. All you have to do is hold a regular D chord and play the following:

e----------3-------3-------3-------3----------------------------------
B--------2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2--------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------

Couldn't be easier

The Outro is more of the same really:

e--------3-----0-----0-----3------------------------------------------
B----------2-----2-----2-----2----------------------------------------
G------------3-----3-----3-----3--------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------


Exact Structure is like this:

Intro/chorus X2

Verse X8

Intro/chorus X4

Outro X8

Lyrics:


I'm glad you found the time to ring
Oh I just spent all day waiting
I need to know what's happening
Well at least we both agree

I really don't know where to start
Well did you say you met some neighbour?
I guess I'm heading for a broken heart
Why are you doing this to me?

It's all clear, I can hear
And I'm not going to share you with no one
Well surprise, I've got eyes
Now goodbye

How long have you had this planned?
I guess it shows how much you care
No, I understand
I just played the fool

Oh sure I'm going to let you go
Well I was wrong to ever trust you
But I don't think that I'll ever know
How you could be so cruel

It's all clear, I can hear
And I'm not going to share you with no one
Well surprise, I've got eyes
Now goodbye

It's all clear, I can hear
And I'm not going to share you with no one
Well surprise, I've got eyes
Now goodbye
