Tabbed by:FinkiusMaximus

So, I'm in love with this song and all current tabs are inadequate, so here's my take.
(Learn to play this well, because there's probably not a dude in the world that can sing 
like Justin Hawkins).

Tuning:Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb

Ok the intro thing I'm not so sure about; the guitar has some weird reverb going, and 
looks totally different in the video, but I kinda fool around with this:

eb|--15-12----12-------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|--------15----15--12------12----------------------------------------------|
Gb|----------------------14------14--12------12------------------------------|
Db|--------------------------------------14----------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

eb|-------------------------12----------12-----------------------------------|
Bb|-----------------12--15------15----------15--12--15-----------------------|
Gb|---------12--14-----------------------------------------------------------|
Db|-12--14-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

So, ad-lib some E minor Eastern lick as you please

Acoustic intro:

Her face was weather beaten and her hair greasy

But the cruel nets had emptied the Northern Sea
And a tear did fall as she looked up at me


                C                    G          C                D
And she said "Hoots, I cannot get back to me hoose in bonny Scotland.”
