  • Tune your guitar up a semitone (seems a common feature of goth songs!)
    I can't get their tone on my setup, but it helps to use the front two pickups
    and turn the treble right down on the amp.
  •  
    I have a suspicion the song is based on some species of sliding Em scale,
    which means there could be better ways of fingering a lot of the notes
  • or putting in slides in different places. You'll just have to work out what
    sounds good/is easy to play yourself! For the time being I'll put brackets
    round notes when I'm not sure where they're played, or if they're not always
  • played every time, or if I can't tell which is played!

    INTRO
     
  • The least accurate part of the tab first... played with phasing and repeat
    pedals so you can't work it out...

    On the beats marked with an asterisk someone strums an F chord on an accoustic
  • with lovely new strings!
    Towards the end of the song the riff is played again with the alternative
    ending.
  •  
    Verse 1 (touch the sun etc)
    Sounds like someone's playing a palm-muted F power chord in the verses and
  • strumming different strings, kind of like

    There's a man playing a violin, and the strings are the nerves in his own arm.
