Hey guys... here's another one that didn't look like it had been tabbed yet.
Let me know if you have a comment or correction! Have fun...

A few notes:

1. I don't know how to begin to explain the timing on this, so I won't.
  Listen to the recording, and you shouldn't have much trouble. Most of wh=
at
  you'll be playing here will be in the space between beats, but watch out
  for a few parts where there's a lot to be played in a short time.
2. I only put the last three strings for this tab, because I think that's al=
l
  Marr is really hitting... but you ought to be able to construct the full
  chord, should you feel the need. I didn't try to name all of the chords
  either since it wouldn't do you much good anyways.


  "Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held..."
E-|-0------5-5-5-5---4-4-2-2---4-4-2-2--------------
B-|-0------5-5-5-5---5-5-4-4---5-5-4-4--------------
G-|-1------6-6-6-6---6-6-4-4---6-6-4-4--------------
D-|-2-----------------------------------------------
A-|-2-----------------------------------------------
E-|-0-----------------------------------------------

  "I want to leave, you will not miss me..."
E-|-0------5-5-5-5---4-4-2-2---4-4-2-2---5-5-5-2----
B-|-0------5-5-5-5---5-5-4-4---5-5-4-4---5-5-5-4----
G-|-1------6-6-6-6---6-6-4-4---6-6-4-4---6-6-6-4----
D-|-2-----------------------------------------------
A-|-2-----------------------------------------------
E-|-0-----------------------------------------------

The above two pieces repeat throughout the verses, fairly regularly.
The only big exceptions are:

  INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE PART (DO THIS TWICE)
E-|-0-0-2-0---0-0-2-0---0-0-2-0---3-3-3-2-0---------
B-|-2-0-4-2---2-0-4-2---2-0-4-0---3-3-3-4-0---------
G-|-2-1-4-1---2-1-4-1---2-1-4-1---4-4-4-4-1---------
D-|-------------------------------------------------
A-|-------------------------------------------------
E-|-------------------------------------------------

The last verse is slightly different at the end:

  "I do not mean to be so rude..."
E-|-0------5-5-5-5---4-4-2-2---4-4-2-2---5-5-5-5--0-
B-|-0------5-5-5-5---5-5-4-4---5-5-4-4---5-5-5-5--0-
G-|-1------6-6-6-6---6-6-4-4---6-6-4-4---6-6-6-6--1-
D-|-2---------------------------------------------2-
