  			Here is another Smudge tab taken from the band themselves (well, Tom). 
Again, I'm 99% sure about this one from watching Tom play it many times. 
I hope people get some use out of it and post other tabs! 
 
The basic idea for the verse is (like a lot of other Smudge songs)  
to play variations of a particular open chord - this time G major. 
The first two lines of the verses just involve sliding the G major 
chord (4 finger version) up two frets and then up two again. 
 
I had this one written out properly with lyrics and everything, but I 
lost it - so this one is not so complete, but the chords should be 
right anyway. By the way, the tab for 'Outdoor Type' (probably my fave  
Smudge song) is available on the Lemonheads Guitar Archive on Chris 
Bray's homepage (uark). It's reasonably accurate I think.
