      022XXX       

G     EADGBE    Then next

Then repeat more quickly twice.


It then goes G A G A G A 


Chorus
                       
F5    EADGBE    i.e.   F5  C5    
      133XXX           P.C.P. a P.C. police victory,
                       
C5    EADGBE           The C5 comes in on the second P of P.C.P.
      X355XX           throughout the chorus.

Repeat 3 times then play

B5    EADGBE   i.e.   B5(damped)      E5(let ring)
      X244XX          Nowadays I cant seem to tell the difference.

E5    EADGBE
      022XXX

You then return back to the verse.

The outro is just the verse with the chords not damped and rawling on the 
G5 then finishing on D5.

I know it looks a bit rough but it does sound right if you listen along 
to the record, you will also be able to get the timing right. 
Im also working on the solo.

I also have much better tab for SHE IS SUFFERING off the same album with 
the solo included.
