The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love Standard Tuning.
3/11/2003

Right first of all, i am fed up of people saying it is in Drop D. IT ISN'T!!!
It sounds perfect the way i play it and when they play it live, they dont move their hands up and down the fret board likes turds in blenders.
Right....


Intro:
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
---2--4--4-|2--2--4--2----------------    x 2 (second guitar comes in on the first 4~)
4--0--2--2-|0--2--2--0------0--2--4--2
2----------|---0----------4~----------





Lyrics come on third: CAN'T EXPLAIN ALL THE FEELINGS THAT YOUR MAKING ME FEEEEELL...
                      MY HEARTS IN OVER DRIVE AND YOUR BEHIND THE STREERING WHEEL...

          Note: each sentance should finish, then the second 2 etc comes in (split by |'s)
                                                             0

end part of the riff goes like this -----------------
                                    -----------------
                                    -----------------
                                    ----------------- Do this where the vibrato (4) comes in on the original.
                                    -----0-----------
                                    --4~---4--2--0---  





Pre Chorus:   -------------------------------
              -------------------------------         TOUCHING YOU
              -------------------------------         TOUCHING ME 
              ---2--4-4-4...-----------------         TOUCHING YOU AAAH JUST TOUCHING YOU (?) 
              ---2--4-4-4...-----------------
              ---0--2-2-2...-----------------
                      [P.M........]  




This can be quite tricky but trust me it is the proper way:

-------------------------------------                              ------------------------
-------------------------------------                              ------------------------
-------------------------------------                              ------------------------
-2--------2--------------2--4--6--4--   x 4 after fourth time play -777--8-9...------------
-2--------0--------4-----0--2--4--2--                              -777--8-9...------------
-0--2--4-----4--0--2--4--------------                              -555--6-7...------------





First Solo: It is 100% correct (with intro riff played as rhythm)


-------12------------12----------------------------------16^----------------------------------
-12^14(hold bend)-14----14-(realease bend back to 12)----------17---------------14^ slow bend-
------------------------------------------------------------------16--13^r--------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------15-----------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Second Verse: same guitar as first: last part of the intro/verse riff comes in
when a | appears.

I WANNA KISS YOU EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, EVERY D|AAAAAYY.
YOU GOT ME IN A SPIN BUT EVERYTHING IS A.O.K|.

then play the highest note you can on the whole fretboard, both guitars then play e and stop.
