This song has polluted my mind so much that I'm going to have to tab it to try
to flush it out of my system. It's catchy, and that's the problem...
For the most part, the song consists entirely of power chords.
Chords:
B5: X244XX
B5/Bb: X144XX
G#5: 466XXX
E5: 022XXX
C#5: 466XXX
(Eb5: 688XXX)
INTRO:
(played with several mutes of the strings and heavy dampening for the percussive
sound inbetween)
B5, B5/Bb, G#5, E5
(if you want to complicate it, the E5 is actually played X799XX and then it
slides down rapidly to Eb5, C#5 and back to B5, which then starts the next line)
VERSE 1
-------
B5 B5/Bb G#5
You're so fit and you know it

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

At your feet.

VERSE 2 (chords as Verse 1)

Since the day you dissed me.
I'm feeling so pathetic.
'cos the guys - well they've ditched me.

CHORUS
------
(chords as before)
I asked you to dance at the disco
But you said no.
The whole world was watching and laughing
On the day (that)
I asked you to dance at the disco
But you said no E5
The whole world was watching and laughing
C#5 E5
On the day that I crashed and burned...
B5
At your feet.
(that last chorus actually has quite a lot of lead guitar fills
spread throughout it, but I can't figure them out clearly enough
to tab them. It seems to be primarily on the top strings, E and B
around fret 14 for both and working around that area. This is the
same guitar that you can audibly hear sliding down on E from fret
11 to 7 right at the very end.)
But that's it. I hope you've found this useful.
I've probably made a mistake somewhere, so corrections are welcome :-)
