Tuning: half step down

My first tab!

Intro + chorus
play this twice for both the intro and chorus, the only difference is Lynott's vocals on 
the chorus

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--7---------------4-----7--------------------------------------------------|
D|--7---7---5-/--7--4-----7---7---2--5---7-----------------------------------|
A|--5---7---5-/--7--2-----5---7---2--5---7-----------------------------------|
E|------5---3-/--5------------5---0--3---5-----------------------------------|

 Verse

   ___________PM____________
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-7777777777777777----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-7777777777777777-77777777-------------------------------------------------|
A|-5555555555555555-77777777---------5h7-5-----------------------------------|
E|------------------55555555-3h5/7/8-----------------------------------------|

   then this bit (just before chorus)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------}---------------------------------------------------------|
G|--2--4-4--2------}-------55555555------------------------------------------|
D|--2--4-4--2--5-5-}3x-----55555555-55---------------------------------------|
A|--0--2-2--0--5-5-}-------33333333-55---------------------------------------|
E|-------------3-3-}----------------33---------------------------------------|

Well the chorus is just the intro

second verse is the same as the first except: the little lick at the end of the pm
section is played higher up, like this:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------4h5-h-7-9-7---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---5h7---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
   solo backing guitar 2    repeat this over and over for the solo.
   I think the solo is just improvised, might tab it later
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------5-------------7-5----------------------------------------------|
E|-------7p5h7--7-5---7p5h7--------------------------------------------------|

   bridge
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--2--4--5--7----2--4--99-7----2--4--5--7---2--4--5-7-----------------------|
A|--2--4--5--7----2--4--99-7----2--4--5--7---2--4--5-7-----------------------|
E|--0--2--3--5----0--2--77-5----0--2--3--5---0--2--3-5-----------------------|
   then main riff ( intro) once  and then the chorus once BUT play it two frets up so 
its like this:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--9-9--7/9-11-----  and so on   -------------------------------------------|
A|--7-9--7/9-11--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----7--5/7-9---------------------------------------------------------------|
 some tremolo picking comes in so:
                                                                            |
   this is the toughest,(3x)   on the last time, go a string down like this V
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999---------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------99999999999999999999-|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then theres another verse, ( played up 2 frets again) then a chorus, and after a few
repeats, tremolo comes in again.  fade out

   Enjoy!
