There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Galmiriad
Tuning: Standard with capo at 4th fret
This tab is for Johnny Marr's very nice melody/ riff that is actually played by a flute or
pipes in the song.
There are videos of him playing the riff itself on youtube. This is as close as I can
get it,enjoy :)
Be sure to use the chords shapes to play it, it's just an arpeggio on the chords. Not so
important with the G though. Then you can strum a few extra notes to make it sounds
better on the Fmaj7 hammer-on.
EDIT: Improved version below. Previous version is at the bottom of the page.
Note: Use this chord shape I have written G* this is how Marr does it.
