Tabbed by: woega

Tuning: standard

This is my interpretation of the 
ENTID  song, lyrics, chords,
tabs including the INTRO, all RIFFS,
 and the OUTRO.

I've tried to be as accurate as I 
can, but I'm open for suggestions :)
The tabs that are directly 
underneath lyrics are meant to be 
played with the lyrics,
when there's a blank line then 
they're played AFTER the words.


        F/C        C         G/B 
There's gotta be a record of you 
     C
some place
    Am          G/B        C
you gotta be on somebody's books
F/C     C        G/B             
    the lowdown, picture of your 
Esus4
face
Am              Em/G
    your injured looks
F                     C
    the sacred and profane
F                        C/G G
    the pleasure and the pain
C              G/B            Am
somewhere your fingerprints 
      Em
remain concrete
    Dm                 Bb         
and it's your face I'm looking for
F/Bb   C
    on every street

Ok now the famous 'On every street' 
theme appears for the first time.
The piano plays the following 
chords:
F G6 D/F# Em F Em Gsus4 G A9

If you want to play them on guitar I
 would play them like depicted 
below. Put emphasis
on the notes with a * to hear the 
melody:

    F   G6  D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4

The second time the main theme is 
played twice.
The first of which is like the one 
above, but without the A9 at the 
end:


    F  G6  D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4  
E|--x---0*--x----x---x---x---x----
B|--x---0---3*---x---x---0*--1*---

  G
E|-x---| 
B|-0*--| 
G|-0---| 
D|-0---| 
A|-2---| 
E|-3---| 

The second time, as the piano plays 
the chords, Mark joins in for some 
accents, but does
not play the entire tune yet. For 
timing purposes I added the chords 
above the tabs:


     F  G6  D/F# Em     F  Em  Gsus4

Ok now the hard part :)
For the rythm guitar, just play the 
chords we have seen before 
repeatedly (without the A9):

  F G6 D/F# Em F Em Gsus4 G

Now I hope I can explain the lead 
part well enough because it involves
MK-style finger picking. I'll start 
with the main tune first, and then 
add
some tips to ad some flavour.

We'll start with a little practice.
First of all the chords are the 
same, but played a bit different.
Try to position your fingers as 
below, but only play the note marked
 with * to
get familiar with the positions:

    F  G6   D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4 
E|--1---x---x----0---1---0---x----
B|--1---5*--3*---0---1---0*--1*---
G|--2*--4---2----0*--2*--0---0----
D|--3---5---0----2---3---2---0----
A|--3---x---0----2---3---2---2----
E|--1---3---1----0---1---0---3----
  G
E|-x---| 
B|-0*--| 
G|-0---| 
D|-0---| 
A|-2---| 
E|-3---| 

To make things a bit more 
interesting, we add the bass notes, 
and the little extra notes
Mark plays.
Again try to position your fingers 
as indicated, but only play the 
notes with *:

    F  G6   D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4 
E|--1---x---x----0---1---0---x----
B|--1---5*--3*---0---1---0*--1*---
G|--2*--4---2----0*--2*--0---0----
D|--3---5---0----2---3---2---0----
A|--3---x---0----2---3---2---2----
E|--1*--3*--1*---0*--1*--0*--3*---
  G      F  G6   D/F# Em            
E|-x---|--1---x---x----0---------1--
B|-0*--|--1---5*--3*---0---------1--
G|-0---|--2*--4---2----0*----0*--2*-
D|-0---|--3---5---0----2---2*----3--
A|-2---|--3---x---0----2---------3--
E|-3*--|--1*--3*--1*---0*--------1*-
  FEm Gsus4 G
E|-0---x-----x---|---------| 
B|-0*--1*----0*--|--1*-0*--| 
G|-0---0-----0---|---------| 
D|-2---0-----0---|---------| 
A|-2---2-----2---|---------| 
E|-0*--3*----3*--|---------| 

This is how I play it. Upper to 
strings are played with index or 
middle finger,
bass notes with the thumb. I'll try 
to be as accurate as I can.

    F     G6       D/F#     Em
