Play these parts 8x's, the verse starts on the third time.

Play Pre-Chorus

Chorus:
The guitar is the same, but the keyboard part is a little
different:
|--------6--6--6-6-6-5--5-5-----3-0------------|
|-1-1--1-----------------------------4-1----1--|
|------------------------------------------3---|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|

|--------6--6--6-6-6-5--5-5-----3-0------------|
|-1-1--1-----------------------------4-1----1--|
|------------------------------------------3---|
|----------------------------------------------|

|--------6--6--6-6-6-5--5-5-----3-0------------|
|-1-1--1-----------------------------4-1-------|
|------------------------------------------3---|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|








Bridge:
The bass plays alone for the first bit, so I tabbed it out:
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------6--6-|
|-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--4--4--4--4--4--4-------|

Then the guitar comes in:
Guitar:
|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|play 4x's
|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
The third time this plays, the keyboards come in:
Keyboard:
|------------------|
|-11b(13~11~13~11)-|
|------------------|
|------------------|
|------------------|
|------------------|
this keeps bending up and down, and it fades out just
before the guitar goes into this:

Play the Chorus (the same as the second time), and then repeat
the Pre-Chorus till it fades out.
The live versions I've heard just ended with the bridge.

It was hard to try to write out the rhythms, but you can figure
them out if you listen to the song.
2004	Franz Ferdinand
