The picking shown is just a general idea, not an exact representation of the original part.
Interpret the picking as you wish; the fingering is the important part.
Riff 1:
D|-------0-------------0-------------0-------0-----------------0---------0--| A|-----0---0---------0---0---------0-------0-----------0---------------0----| G|---------------------------------------------------0-----0----------------| D|-2h4-------4---2---------2---------------------------------0-----0h2------| G|-----------------------------/7------6---------4--------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Riff 2:
D|-------0-------------0-------------0-------0-----------------0---------0--| A|-----0---0---------0---0---------0-------0-----------0---------------0----| G|---------------------------------------------------0-----0----------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------0--------------| G|-2h4-------4--/6---------6---/7------6---------4-------------------2------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
If you listen to the guitar in the verses, you'll notice a change in the bass notes.
That's where you switch from Riff 1 to Riff 2.
For example, the first verse is:
Riff 1
Don't you know we lost?
Riff 1
Sunk so low, we just called it off
Riff 2
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
Riff 2
A more than ordinary woman's the cost
All verses follow the same progression: play Riff 1 twice, then Riff 2 twice.
Then, between the first two verses:
[D5] [G/B] [Gm/Bb] [D5/A]
Then after the second verse:
Be[D5]lieve [G/B]me
Be[Gm/Bb]lieve [D5/A]me
Be[D5]lieve [G/B]me
Be[Gm/Bb]lieve [D5/A]me
[D5] Have another look, a[G/B]nother look around
[Gm/Bb] Have another look arou[D5/A]nd
[D5] Have another look, a[G/B]nother look around
[Gm/Bb] Have another look arou[D5/A]nd
Chorus:
It's come un[D5/A]do-o-o-[Em]one
[G/D] Do-[D5/A]one
It's come un[D5/A]do-o-o-[Em]one
[G/D] Do-[D5/A]one
Then after the first chorus comes the bridge:
[D5] Have another look, a[G/B]nother look around
[Gm/Bb] Have another look arou[D5/A]nd
[D5] Have another look, a[G/B]nother look around
[Gm/Bb] Have another look arou[D5/A]nd
The interlude before the last verse is just Riff 2 twice.
After the last chorus:
[D5] [G/B] [Gm/Bb] [D5/A]
[D5] [G/B] [Gm/Bb] [D5/A]
Just end on that last D5/A
And that's it.
For the record, I'm aware that the D5/A isn't really over an A. I just refer to it as
such for naming purposes; it's much quicker and easier to type "D5/A" than "D5 (2)".
