Dont Wanna See Your Face Chords & Tabs
Dont Wanna See Your Face Tab
Hi guys, first tab so be gentle. Not sure how accurate this is but I think its pretty
good. Put it together from a mix of watching live footage (for the riff and chorus) and by
ear (for the solo).
John plays this on his 11 string (he removes the higher octave G) but I find this works
fine for 6 string.
Tuning is Open C (CGCGCE) with a capo on 4th.

The x's here don't symbolise a strike of all the strings whilst muted as such, more like
John's typical percussive guitar playing (how he keeps the rhythm while he plays).

Play this twice, but not fully. Listen to the track, they kill it in the first chorus
and again in the second for a bass fill.

Play this twice.
Solo - I think this is pretty much there but probably not 100%.

Sorry for not really putting it in any coherent way regarding timing, just the way I
wrote it down when I was trying to work it out.

Play this twice.
This last chorus I am really not sure about but this is what I think, its just picking
over the top of the bridge really.

Then its back to the verse riff.
Thats all I've got, please rate and comment.
