Artist: The Charlatans
Song: One To Another
Album: Tellin' Stories
Tunning: standard with capo on fret 1
TabbedBy Indie Nation (Dan)
What a song! It was a single and also track 4 on the breath-taking
Tellin' Stories album.
The song is in F but I've tabbed it in E -- I think a capo was
used at the first fret. If you have a capo then I've tabbed it as
though the capo was the nut (ie O means open string which is really
fret 1 and 2 means two up from the capo which is really fret 3)
If you dont have a capo then you can just add 1 to each of the numbers
or tune your guitar up a semitone to F,Bb,Eb,Ab,C,F instead
of E,A,D,G,B,E.
The main riff is:
F|-----------------------|
C|-----------------------|
Ab|--2pO------------------|
Eb|------2-2-2-2-2-2-O-2--|
Bb|-----------------------|
F|-----------------------|
Intro
The main riff is played on an electric through a Wah-wah pedal.
If you don't have one just cut the treble and bass on your amp
and it will give a similar effect.
After the riff 4 times some piano chords are played over it. They
are:
Ab Bb F
F|--3--|--O--|--O--|
C|--O--|--2--|--O--|
Ab|--O--|--2--|--1--|
Eb|--O--|--2--|--2--|
Bb|--2--|--O--|--2--|
F|--3--|-----|--O--|
After this the whole band plays the riff another 4 times.
Verse 1
There's a very distorted guitar playing what's in the tab
and a piano playing the chords above it. The guitar shapes
for the chords can be found at the
bottom of the page.

Chorus 3 (Guitar and piano as Chorus 2)
Stand by my accusations, come clean, don't need no vice,
Know you wanna keep me waiting, I think it's funny that you mind.
Love is hard to leave, it's hard to never have,
Won't you please come out your window, you can play with all my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Box up all our records, and a head full of ideas,
and a handful of escape routes,
They're gonna burn you!
