i tabbed this frame by frame from this video :

tuning : D# G# C# F# A# D#

chords are relevant to the fret numbers played after down – tuning ,
and not the actual root note , since this is the easier for most
guitarists . if you are playing in standard tuning ( or on a piano
etc . ) then transpose all chords down 1 half – step using the
’ultimate guitar’ transposer above ^ to be musically accurate .
’f#m’ = Fm in standard tuning . watch/listen to the video for
timing and strumming patterns , its not difficult to figure out .
lyrics with chords are below .

the kroq performance medleys into a few lines of ’supersonic’ by
oasis at the end – this is optional . chords for that can be
searched for , or you can work them out yourself!

the ’le figaro’ acoustic performance is slightly different . try
this alterative version ( pre – verse 1 and verse 1 only ) and see
which you prefer .
