NOTES:  I transcribed this using a classical guitar, and 
consequently had some problems with the fast, high neck section 
at the end of the solo. It's just a matter of getting the 
rhythm, so as soon as i get hold of my electric i'll complete 
this part and send it in.
	When i've seen this played live, James doesn't mute the 
notes on the ascending part of the main riff. I actually think 
it sounds better that way. 
	At a gig in Bournemouth a couple of years ago, i saw 
Richey play the opening couple of bars of this song. Curious 
because he was famed for just standing there pouting, and 
playing air-guitar to a backing tape. Anyone know what his 
playing is like these days?
