Tuning: normal or whatever suits your voice
It’s basically bm7 – d – a – e
Then f sharp minor then e for the chorus bit
But I think its better to play it like this:
VERSE
B d a e
e|--5---2---5---4-|
B|--3---3---5---5-| for the verse’s
G|--2---2---6---4-|
D|--4---0---7---6-|
A|--2-------7---4-|
E|----------------|
B d a e
e|--5---5---5---7-| or you could play it like this
B|--3---7---5---9-| to honest any variation on the main chords that
G|--2---7---6---9-| sounds good
D|--4---7---7---9-|
A|--2---5---7---7-|
E|----------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/brendan_benson/metarie_tab_ver_2.html ]
d e
e|--5--------4----|
B|--3--------0----| or on the ‘d’ and ‘e’ parts use your little finger
G|--2--------1----| again to go up the fret
D|--0--------2----|
A|-----------2----|
E|-----------0----|
CHORUS
e|--2---0---------------------------------------| The f# minor is for the pre chorus bit ‘put it in
B|--2---0---------------------------------------| your song’

D|--4---2---------------------------------------| keep strumming ‘e’ when singing ‘something ive been
A|--4---2---------------------------------------| meaning to say to you’ and use your little finger
E|--2---0------- to go up the fret from 1 - 4--|
Then back into the verse…
