Weirdo
====-The Charlatans

  This was one of my least favourite Charlatans songs until I saw them
live and this one really blew me away and I had to learn it. I've tried
to transcribe all guitar and organ parts for guitar and I'll give you
the chords as well, just in case.

Intro

Hammond riff:

  F#m7          F#m6          F#m b6(?)      F#m         F#m6
E|----------2--|----------2--|----------2--|----------2--2--|
B|----------5--|----------4--|----------3--|----------2--4--|
G|----------2--|----------2--|----------2--|----------2--2--|
D|----------4--|----------4--|----------4--|----------4--4--|
A|-------------|-------------|-------------|----------------|
E|--2-2-2-2----|--2-2-2-2----|--2-2-2-2----|--2-2-2-2-------|

Play this twice, then twice again but with the following guitar overdub
(bang a bit of reverse reverb on it if you can)

  F#m7 F#m6 F#m b6  F#m        F#m6
E|----|----|-----|----------------|
B|--5-|--4-|--3--|-2h3p2h3-2h3h4--|
G|----|----|-----|----------------|
D|----|----|-----|----------------|
A|----|----|-----|----------------|
E|----|----|-----|----------------|

Now the organ riff changes, play this once:

    F#m                    Gm   F#m                     Em
E|----------------------------|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|----------------------------|
G|--2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2--3--|--2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2--O--|
D|--2-4---2-4---2-4---2-4--5--|--2-4---2-4---2-4---2-4--2--|
A|--2-4---2-4---2-4---2-4--5--|--2-4---2-4---2-4---2-4--2--|
E|--2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2--3--|--2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2--O--|
Keep this last riff going through the first verse:

		F#m			 Gm
		Most of the time you are happy,
		F#m                      Em
		You're a weirdo.
		F#m			 Gm
		And before the introduction ends
		F#m                               Em
		There's someone feeling sorry for their selves.

Chorus
(Here's where you stomp on your tremolo pedal- Hit each chord once
 and hold)

		Dm
		Look at your ugly shame,
		G
		What are you talking for?
		Dm			G
		Look at your ugly shame.

It's back to the original organ riff for the second verse:

		F#m7             F#m6
		Most of the time you're demanding,
		Fm# b6			  F#m             F#m6
		What am I doing here, and I don't want to be.
		F#m7             F#m6
		And the hurt in which you bare
		Fm# b6			           F#m        F#m6
		You could say goodbye to this earth.

Chorus
		Dm
		Look at your ugly shame,
		G
		What are you talking for?
		Dm
		Look at your ugly shame.
		G
		There's too much for me to know about.

Instrumental
  After a bar of percussion there's a bass solo. It's something vaguley
like this:

G|------------------------|
D|--4-4---4---4---4--2-2--|
A|------4---4---4---------|   x3
E|------------------------|

Guitar Solo

E|----------|----2-----|--2-2--------------|
B|-------5--|--5----2--|--2-2--2-----------|
G|----2-----|----------|-------2------2----|
D|--2-------|----------|---------2-4----4--|
A|----------|----------|-------------------|
E|----------|----------|-------------------|

Now with the 1st organ riff underneath:

   F#m7                  F#m6			F#m b6
E|------7------7---5---|------7------7---5---|--7--9--7--9-7-----|
B|--5h7----5h7---7---7-|--5h7----5h7---7---7-|---------------10--|
G|---------------------|---------------------|-------------------|
D|---------------------|---------------------|-------------------|
A|---------------------|---------------------|-------------------|
E|---------------------|---------------------|-------------------|

  F#m
E|------7------7-----|----2\---|
B|--5h7----5h7-------|----2\---|
G|-------------------|----2\---|
D|-------------------|---------|
A|-------------------|-4-------|
E|-------------------|-2-------|

There's a half-bar of weird Delay-feedback effects- you could just
scrape your plectrum up and down the strings.

Verse 3

		F#m7             	 F#m6
		Most of the time you are happy,
		Fm# b6		  F#m        F#m6
		You're a weirdo.
		F#m7             	 F#m6
		And your nerve is my device,
		Fm# b6		  F#m        F#m6
		And it makes me sad.

Chorus
		Dm
		Look at your ugly shame,
		G
		What are you talking for?
		Dm
		Look at your ugly shame.
		G
		There's too much for me to know about.

Two bars of drums then another bass solo:

G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|----O-O-2--O-2-4-2-|  x4
E|--2----------------|

Repeat Hammond Organ Riff 1, twice. Then it's:

    Dm                C
E|-----------------------------|
B|--6-6-X-6-6-X-6-6-X-5-5-5-5--|
G|--7-7-X-7-7-X-7-7-X-5-5-5-5--|
D|--7-7-X-7-7-X-7-7-X-5-5-5-5--|  x2
A|--5-5-X-5-5-X-5-5-X-5-5-5-5--|
E|-----------------------------|

Now it's the outro solo played on some kind of organ-slash-synth. It's
probabaly a bit sloppy but it'll give you an idea. It's played over the
first organ riff again.

   F#m7			F#m6		     F#m b6            F#m
E|--------------------|--------------------|------------------------|
B|--------------------|--------------------|------------------------|
G|--------------------|--------------------|------------------------|
D|--------------------|--------------------|------7------------7----|
A|--7h9p7h9p7h9p7/12--|--7h9p7h9p7h9p7/12--|--7-9---9-7-9-7-9----9--|
E|--------------------|--------------------|------------------------|

   F#m7			   F#m6		   F#m b6          F#m
E|-----------------------|---------------|---------------|--------|
B|-----------------------|---------------|---------------|--------|
G|-----------------------|---------------|---------------|--------|
D|----------------7---7--|--9-7-------7--|--9-11-9-7---7-|---7----|
