FINALLY I figured out the intro to this song. I've been trying for
a long time. I heard them play it unplugged on some bootleg I just
bought and now I've figured it out. The same 3 chords go on
throughout the song. I've tabbed the intro and guitar solo, but
there's some picking in the end that I didn't bother to tab out,
it's not important anyway. The Esus4 chord is just an extra chord,
when you're playing E you should throw in a bit of Esus4 sometimes.


INTRO:
------
OK, I've tabbed out the intro and I think it's pretty much correct.
Don't take the timing too seriously, you must listen to the song to
really get the rhythm. The way I finger the intro, I use my index
finger on the A string and my pinky on the G string, but the index
finger also mutes the D string. Try it, you'll see what I mean.

[starts with drums, then play the pattern below twice]

VERSE 1:
--------
    F#m7                          Asus2
Two jumps in a week I bet you think that's pretty clever
     E
don't you boy
    F#m7                       Asus2                       E
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop
          F#m7                           Asus2
You'd kill yourself for recognition, kill yourself to never,
     E
ever stop
        F#m7                         Asus2
You broke another mirror. You're turning into something
      E
you are not


[In the chorus there's an electric guitar. It just plays basic power
chords. Whenever the acoustic plays F#m7 the electric plays F#5,
whenever the acoustic plays Asus2 the electric plays A5 and when the
acoustic plays an E, the electric plays E5. I've just written out
the acoustic chords below.]

CHORUS:
-------
                   F#m7     Asus2               E
Don't leave me high,         don't leave me dry
F#m7     Asus2 [stop]                 E
Don't leave me high,                  don't leave me dry


INTERLUDE:
----------
Play INTRO just once.


VERSE 2: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing
you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world
all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you, you will be the one screaming out


CHORUS:
-------
                   F#m7     Asus2               E
Don't leave me high,         don't leave me dry
                   F#m7     Asus2               E
Don't leave me high,         don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you've ever had
Asus2                          E [play Fill1, see below]
Best thing that you've ever, ever had
             F#m7
It's the best that you've ever had
        Asus2                          E
The best thing that you've had has gone away


FILL1:
------
E|-------<12>-|
B|--<12>------|  <> = natural harmonics
G|------------|
D|------------|
A|------------|
E|------------|

[The CHORUS/OUTRO is just the same old chords again.
There's a bit of picking, first repeat the solo and
then something else, but it's not too important so
I'm not gonna tab it out. Just keep strumming the
same chords and slow down on the last line.]

CHORUS/OUTRO:
-------------
So don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high,
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
