Washer Tab

This tab is an attempt to optimally condense both guitar parts into one. Check out Coxon's version for a
tab with separated parts. Some things are taken and or improved upon from their tab, others I figured
out myself. This is an awesome song, have fun!

Interlude Riff:
// The first part is basically a C shape as if there was a cap on the 7th  //
// The second part is basically an A7sus4                                  //

[Verse 1]
// Try to stick mostly to the bottom four strings on the verses (EADG). It's pretty bass heavy and sparse //
// You can transition down from Cmaj7/G to Em with an F# note or Em/F# chord (222000). Improvise :)       //
 
Em                  Cmaj7/G
  Goodnight my love
                           Em
Remember me as you fall to sleep
                                        Cmaj7/G
Fill your pockets with the dust and the memories
                                Em
That rises from the shoes on my feet
         Cmaj7/G
I won't be back here
          Em               Cmaj7/G
Though we may meet again

[Verse 2]
Em                          Cmaj7/G
  I know it's dark outside
          Em
Don't be afraid
                             Cmaj7/G
Every time I ever cried from fear
                          Em
Was just a mistake that I made
         Cmaj7/G
Wash yourself in your tears
               Em
And build your church
                        Cmaj7/G
On the strength of your faith

Listen to me

Don't let go

[Intro reprise]
// played like intro, with the lyrics sung over them; 1 whole riff per line, and the riff once alone after //
 
I too am tired now
Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep
My head is empty, my toes are warm
I am safe from harm
Harrrrmmmm
