Tuning:EADGBE

Okay guys, this is probably my favorite song off In This Light And On This Evening,
nobody on here has ever tabbed it, so I thought I'd have a go. It's a really weird song and
I'm afraid I'll only really be able to tab chris's lead for the first half of the song, 
when it gets to "they took what once was ours, I don't know, but if i ever figure it out i
shall update it.

Intro

Bass (Russell)

Right my guess is that even thought there isn't a traditional bass (Russell doesn't play
one live), I think the bass in the song is just bending a low C back and forth between
C# like so

E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Lead Guitar (Chris)

Right that weird noise that sounds like a saw can be recreated on a guitar by
experimenting around on a lot of different effects on a pedal (maybe a lot of wah or 
reverb) but
again its just a C, and this little note recurs fairly frequently throughout the song

It goes on for eight beats essentially

Verse

Chris doesn't do much in the first verse, but in the second i'm pretty sure he just
shreds (or tremelo picks) a C

he then plays this little riff after tom sings "take and you shall receive" and in the
second verse its "you're a secret only I know", but you can play it whenever really

Thats pretty much all I have so far, but if anyone has any of the other parts,
especially what goes on in the last third of the song, please let me know :)
