I decided to correct and format the 
existing TAB of this song.
Mucho thanks to *. Follows is the 
corrected TAB,
plus some bass TAB.

posted in an ftp, but it was missing
 key parts needed to play the
song, so I have added them so you 
can play the whole song. This is
NOT IN STANDARD TUNING!!! If you 
want to play it right you HAVE TO
tune down a half step, because the E
 is open. NOTE: You do tune down
one half-step, BUT you still play 
the chord names as if you were in
standard tuning:

B:  x244xx
E:  022xxx
F#: 244xxx
etc...
(looks best in Courier)



Intro: B B F# G# F#   Play that 4x 
for intro


Intro and Verse bass TAB looks like 
this:
-----------------------------|----
-----------------------------|----
-2--2--2-----------------2-4-|-2--
---------2--4---2-2--2-4-----|----

-|------------------------| 
-|-----4------------------| 
-|2--2----------------2-4-| 
-|--------4---2-2--2-4----| 

-|            
-|            
-|repeat,etc.

Verse 1:

  B    F#

I sit alone in my bedroom

Continúa después del anuncio
B              F#

Staring at the walls

     B       F#

I've been up all damn night long

B                    F#

My pulse is speeding, my love is 
yearning



Chorus:

G#                   B

I hold my breath and close my eyes  
    ----play-this-twice--------

G#              F#               

   ---------------------------

And dream about her...              
    --3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4---------

E             F#              

*===>     --3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4---------

Cause she's 2000 light years away   
--1\2-2-2--1\2-2-2---------

G#               B               

   ---------------------------

She holds my malakite so tight so

A            F#

Never let go...

E            F#               B 

B F# G# F# (4x)

Cause she's 2000 light years away



Verse 2:

  B                         F#

I sit outside and watch the sunrise

B                   F#

Lookout as far as I can

  B                         F#

I can't see her, but in the distance

B                    F#

I hear some laughter, we laugh 
together



Chorus


"Solo":

Bass plays alone w/ guitar feedback 
in background 4x
Last time guitar plays lick:

Eb: |------7-----------|
Bb: |---/7---7---------|

I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
