ARTIST: Engerica
TITLE: The Smell
ALBUM: There Are No Happy Endings (new version)
TABBED BY: kryptonite22
TUNING: D A D G B e
This tab refers to the re-recorded version which most people will have heard. The older
came out a year or two ago and is ever so slightly different. Even if that's the only
you have/know, you'll be able to pick it up from this tab though I think, as the main
differences are in the production qualities, not the actual playing.
INTRO PART 1 (I can't work out whether those 5s and 7s sound better on or just left
have a listen and see which you prefer)

Then play INTRO PART 3 for a bit
Then it's a verse with some lovely incomprehensible lyrics, so play the same as on the
verse.
Then a chorus again, which is exactly the same as above, apart from it leads into this part
