I think this is how its played - if not its pretty close. The best thing to do is play along with the actual song. I'd appreciate it if some of you rated it for me. If you like this tab Please check out the Buzzcocks - Ever fallen in love? tab too. 

Enjoy the tab!!

(Note: Played with extreme heavy distortion, lead guitar may be using a flanger)

Song Structure

Intro 	(Lead guitar only)
Verse 	(2 guitars) x6 (on the x5, lead guitar switches to the intro with the 
                             verse variation and plays that twice through).
Chorus	(2 guitars) x1
Verse 	(2 guitars) x5 (on the x4, lead guitar switches to the intro with the
                             verse variation and plays that once through).
Chorus	(2 guitars) x1
Verse	(niether guitars play the third verse. The bass does this bit) x2
Solo	(ok, i'm not 100% sure of the solo's accuracy. Just play it twice)
Verse	(2 guitars) x2 ************** Where these are marked, you don't play
                                           that part on the x2
Chorus	(2 guitars) x4
Outro	(Lead guitar only)

Its the best I can do. It didn't take long to work out - but you must excuse the guided instructions on how to play it - this is one of my very first tabs so i've probably tabbed it down wrong. No worries though - you can always throw in your own variations if it sounds closer to the original. Enjoy the tab!!

P.S Check out my Buzzcocks tab please for "Ever fallen in Love"? I'd also appreciate a rating, comments, or corrections on this tab. Thanks for checking it out - More tabs coming soon
