INTRO- there is a bass part for this, but standard 6-string guitars can't go low enough.
So, in a key higher it's (relative to capo):
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|-0-0-0-0-------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
A|---------3-3-3-------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
And then for the second time the intro verse is played, you can switch to:
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|-0-0-0-0-------3-3-3-3-3---------|
A|---------3-3-3-----------1-1-1-1-|
E|---------------------------------|OR EVEN E X IT UP WITH THIS:
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|-0-0-0-0-------------------------|
A|---------3-3-3-3-----------------|
E|-----------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|
whatever sounds good to you, yo. you're the one playing the song. (the last two versions
aren't even IN the intro really,but they sound okay).
There was this cool, cool girl
She was about your age
She kind of had your smile
She kind of had your face

CHORUS
DmC
She wanted to be my lover

DmC

FBb
But I know I'm never gonna get you back again
DmC
I just wish that you would answer the phone
FBDmCFBb
'Cause, I could really do with talking to you right now
VERSE 1
there is a little guitar part throughout this that i tabbed to the best of my ability
(which is not very good, so feel free to correct me):
E|-----5-----3-----------------|
B|---6---6--------5------------|
G|-7-------5--------2-----2-3--|
D|-----------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|DmCFBb
Another girl broke my heart; it hurt
DmC

FBb
So now I'm scarred
DmC
I look up into the sky and
FBbDmCFBb
I wish that I could fly, high
VERSE 2 (bridge?)
another guitar part. this is a very basic version of it, repeat the notes a couple time
if you want it to sound profesh:
E|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|---------------2-----3--3-2-|
D|-0----3-------------3-------|
A|-------3-----3--------------|
E|----------------------------|
Oh yeah, and there are a couple of bends and effects used within the guitar parts, but I
am not profesh enough to tab them. My apologies.
DmC
Sister, sister
FBb
Well, don't ya know how much I miss ya?
DmC
Oh my god, my, my sister
F

A blister

DmCFBb
Sister
CHORUS
DmC

FBb
But I know I'm never gonna get you back again
DmC
I just wish that you would answer the phone
FBbDmCFBb
'Cause, I could really do with talking to you right now

E|-----------------------------|DmCFBb

E|----------------------------|DmCFBb
Being ripped away from you, is like being ripped out of a room

CHORUS:
DmC
She wanted to be my lover
