Chinatown

Tabbed by: Matt Allison

Tuning: Standard

This song sounds best when played 
through a valve amp, using a guitar 
with a humbucker
set on the bridge pickup.

 This is the main riff throughout 
the song. Just play an E shape and 
lift it on and off.


i'm not certain about the run but I think it's in Em and it goes something like this

e|--15p12------12---------------
B|--------15-------15p12--------
G|------------------------14p12-
D|------------------------------
A|------------------------------

D|14----14---12--14--12-------12--------------| 
A|-----------------------14-------14----------| 
E|------------------------------------15---12-| 


and then

this is the build up to the main 
riff.  It may take a bit of 
practice.

  These chords need repeating and 
for the A play the main riff up one 
string.

After the chorous the main riff 
plays followed by the above. Then 
the run from the
is played.
I think the solos are improvised 
using an Em scale.
This is my first tab so i hope it 
isnt too bad.
