These are the fills/lead parts for "I Want The One I Can't Have", from
The Smiths' second album, "Meat Is Murder".
The rhythm is essentially just the chords, which I've included at the bottom.
I just copied and pasted them from abbo1uk's chords, they're exactly the same. Tab 
relative to capo, not nut.
