Manic Street Preachers - From Despair To Where

Tabbed by: Harry (tab@electricweb.org.uk)

This is my first tab completely done from scratch and it's all my own work.
Every verse and chorus is different,  so just play it through from the top.
I've put in bar lines to help with timing and the note spacings also relate
to timing for most (but not all) of this tab.

Key:

 h - Hammer-on
 . - Palm mute
 b - Bend
 r - Release
 \ - Slide (down)
 / - Slide (up)
 x - Dead (heavily muted) note
 ~ - Vibrato (string bending rather than whammy bar in this tab)

|-     -| - Repeat this section
|o     o|   1. - Play on 1st repeat
|o ... o|   2. - Play on 2nd repeat
|-     -|   etc.

Alternative last line,  this is not played but fits the vocal melody better
so you may find it easier to sing along to:

There are actually two guitars on the recording here, but you can squash it
in. That 12th fret D at the end is really supposed to be played at the same
G5 at the start of the next line.

BREAK

This is mostly played by a string orchestra, but I don't have one of those,
so I arranged it for guitar.

I stop using bar lines at this point because the timing gets too intricate.
