SONG: Beetlebum
ARTIST: Blur
 ALBUM: Blur
TUNING: E A D G

Tablature originally by Jesse Miller (millerbull@sprynet.com)
Revisions by Dan Coates (dcoates@disconnect.net)

This was based off the original tabs I found by Mr. Miller, but I made a few
significant changes that I think make it sound a lot more like the album
version, and a lot better.

Now what you`ve done                Beetlebum


The other  4 verses are all the same, when you are about to change to the chorus do this:

e--8-
B-10-
G-10- X9
D-10-
A--8-
E--8-

The chorus is pretty easy:

     C
And when she lets me slip away
    G           A           
She turns me on and 
                F
All my violence gone
    G
Nothing is wrong
       F            
I just slip away and then
A#  C
I am gone
    G            A
Nothing is wrong
      F          A
She turns me on
          F             
I just slip away and then 
      A#   C
I am gone



The outro is very very easy

e---------------------
B--10-----------------
G------9--------------
D---------10-10/9-9-0-
A---------------------
E---------------------

While you play the outro, your second guitar can play these chords:

A
He`s on................
C
He`s on................
F
He`s on................
G A#
He`s on................
