Stephen Fretwell — Emily Chords
I noticed that the other tab isn't quite how it's played really, although it's still a
good version. I saw him in Stoke a while back and have only just worked out the whole
thing... so... I hope you like it.

Riff 1:
Dsus2 —> E1? —> E2? — E3?
Riff 2:
Badd11 —> Dadd9 —> Dadd9?
Note: for the Riff 1, you go from the D, pull off to a Dsus2 for one strum, then straight
up to the E1? This takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you've got the pattern
it's really easy.
