Tab Gitar Stereophonics – Word gets around part one Versi 1

Album: Word Gets Around (Part 1) Artists:Stereophonics Tabbed by: Sian Clarke I couldn't fit all twelve songs onto the same file, so I'm afraid it's split into two parts (Part 1) and (Part 2), the second half of this file should be underneath the place you found this first one :') Songs in this part: 1. A Thousand Trees 2. Looks Like Chaplin 3. More Life in a Tramps vest 4. Local Boy In the Photograph 5. Traffic 6. Not Up To You Songs in part two: 7. Check My Eyelids For Holes 8. Same Size Feet 9. Last Of The Big Time Drinkers 10. Goldfish Bowl 11. Too Many Sandwiches 12. Billy Daveys' Daughter There, hope thats not too confusing, now I'll get on with it. I've listed all the chords and riffs used under each individual song. I'm almost 100% sure that all these songs are right, but if you disagree or have any comments, questions, corrections or just want to say hey, e-mail me at [email protected] and I will try to reply to all. (Riffs are indicated above the chord that is played with it) KEY: b = bend string h = hammer on p = pull off /or = slide to numbered fret { = rest - no chord, silence unless there is a riff continuing above it ...= duration of a riff This is a great album. But it took me bloody ages to tab. * 1.
