This is my interpretation of the ENTIRE song, lyrics, chords,

tabs including the INTRO, all RIFFS, and the OUTRO.



I've tried to be as accurate as I can, but I'm open for suggestions :)

The tabs that are directly underneath lyrics are meant to be played with the lyrics,

when there's a blank line then they're played AFTER the words.





        F/C        C         G/B      C

There's gotta be a record of you some place

    Am          G/B        C

you gotta be on somebody's books

F/C     C        G/B             Esus4

    the lowdown, picture of your face

Am              Em/G

    your injured looks

F                     C

    the sacred and profane

F                        C/G G

    the pleasure and the pain

C              G/B            Am      Em

somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete

    Dm                 Bb         F/Bb   C

and it's your face I'm looking for    on every street



          Am

Ok now the famous 'On every street' theme appears for the first time.

The piano plays the following chords:

F G6 D/F# Em F Em Gsus4 G A9



If you want to play them on guitar I would play them like depicted below. Put emphasis 

the notes

with a * hear play the melody:



    F   G6  D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4 G   A9

The second time the main theme is played twice.

The first time is like the first, but without the A9 at the end:





    F  G6  D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4  G

e|--x---0*--x----x---x---x---x-----x---|

B|--x---0---3*---x---x---0*--1*----0*--|

G|--2*--0---2----0*--2*--0---0-----0---|

D|--3---0---0----2---3---2---0-----0---|

A|--3---2---0----2---3---2---2-----2---|

E|--1---3---2----0---1---0---3-----3---|



The second time, as the piano plays the chords, Mark joins in for some accents, but does 

play the entire

tune yet. For timing purposes I added the chords above the tabs:





     F  G6  D/F# Em     F  Em  Gsus4 G   A9

  F/C         C        G/B          C

a three-chord symphony crashes into space

    Am              G/B    C

the moon is hanging upside down

F/C             C             G/B          Esus4

     I don't know why it is I'm still on the case

Ok now the hard part :)

For the rythm guitar, just play the chords we have seen before repeatedly (without the A9):



  F G6 D/F# Em F Em Gsus4 G



Now I hope I can explain the lead part well enough because it involves

MK-style finger picking. I'll start with the main tune first, and then add

some tips to ad some flavour.



We'll start with a little practice.

First of all the chords are the same, but played a bit different.

Try to position your fingers as below, but only play the note marked with * to

get familiar with the positions:



    F  G6   D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4 G

e|--1---x---x----0---1---0---x-----x---|

B|--1---5*--3*---0---1---0*--1*----0*--|

G|--2*--4---2----0*--2*--0---0-----0---|

D|--3---5---0----2---3---2---0-----0---|

A|--3---x---0----2---3---2---2-----2---|

E|--1---3---1----0---1---0---3-----3---|



To make things a bit more interessing, we add the bass notes, and the little extra notes 

plays.

Again try to position your fingers as indicated, but only play the notes with *:



    F  G6   D/F# Em  F   Em  Gsus4 G      F  G6   D/F# Em        F   Em  Gsus4 G

e|--1---x---x----0---1---0---x-----x---|--1---x---x----0---------1---0---x-----x---|---------|

B|--1---5*--3*---0---1---0*--1*----0*--|--1---5*--3*---0---------1---0*--1*----0*--|--1*-0*--|

G|--2*--4---2----0*--2*--0---0-----0---|--2*--4---2----0*----0*--2*--0---0-----0---|---------|

D|--3---5---0----2---3---2---0-----0---|--3---5---0----2---2*----3---2---0-----0---|---------|

A|--3---x---0----2---3---2---2-----2---|--3---x---0----2---------3---2---2-----2---|---------|

E|--1*--3*--1*---0*--1*--0*--3*----3*--|--1*--3*--1*---0*--------1*--0*--3*----3*--|---------|



This is how I play it. Upper to strings are played with index or middle finger,

bass notes with the thumb. I'll try to be as accurate as I can.



    F     G6       D/F#     Em       F        Em       G6       G

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

D|--3--3--------5--------0------2--------3----------2--------0--------0----|
