SOLO THING:

This is played on 2 guitars on the recorded version, but can also be played 
on 1 if your good enough.

Guitar 1 strums an Bb once and slide down four times

guitar 2 plays around with this scale with very fast tremelo picking, heres
the scale:

E-22-19------------------------    E-20-17------------------------
B-------22-19------------------ or E-------20-17------------------ 
G-------------20-18------------    E-------------19-17------------

Bb F# G# F# G#


Bb F# G# F# G#
 I go out in the city

Bb F# G# F# G# 
I stay away from the bugs
 F 
Oh yeah
 
Bb F# G# F# G#
 na na na na na oh oh... 

Graham plays some minor cords underneath all that fuzz that go something like this:
     e  a  d  g  b  e
Bbm :x  x  x  15 14 13
f#m :x  x  x  11 10 9
G#m :x  x  x  13 12 11

the bass for the outro goes;

E-6-6-6-4-6-6-6-4-6-6-6-4-6-2-3-4-  (x2)

E-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4

E-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4-3-2--

A-------4s/6---------4s/6---------4s/6--------6-4--
E-2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6------   (x2)

E-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4

A-------4s/6---------4s/6---------4s/6--------6-4--
E-2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6---------2s/6------   (x2)

A-------4s/6---------4s/6-
E-2s/6---------2s/6-------

For the end bit after the sort of bass solo alex changes between:

this riff:
E-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-2-3-4-

And this riff:

A-------4s/6-
E-2s/6-------

and graham plays this on his guitar:

D------------4-6------------4---------
A------4-4-6----------4-4-6---6-6p4---
E-4s/6-----------4s/6---------------6-

if you hadn't guessed damon is singing;

space is the place x repeat to fade

however as far as i know he dosn't sing it on the live version.
