House Of Cards Tab

The song is in Drop D tuning and also has a Capo on the 3rd fret.
I'll be referring to the frets as they are marked on your guitar
meaning the first fret directly after the Capo will be referred to as "the fourth fret"/"4".
Also if it says "0" I just mean empty string.
 
I am going to split the rhythm part into 4 essential progressions and then tab
it out to the lyrics to make it easier to both read and create.
 
The strumming rhythm can be quite tricky, so i would suggest learning it by listening.

Prog1.5(You can skip this if you want as it basically sounds the same
without but I'm pretty sure this is how Thom plays it.)

For the solos you really need to listen in order to get the timing down, but i tabbed it out for you.
You need something to rub the string at the frets with in order to produce the echoey sound,
Jonny uses a coin. using alot of reverb helps too.
