Coffee and TV Guitar Tablature
This intro is almost as the one 13: 
e/---------------------- 
B/---------------------- 
G/-----5-----7-10-12-9-- 
D/---5---7-8------------ 
A/-5-------------------- 
E/---------------------- 

In the song there are a few guitar fills: 
GUITAR FILL 1: 
e/----------------- 
B/----------------- 
G-4-4-4-6-11-9----- 

GUITAR FILL 2: 
e/----------------- 
B/-12-10-9-5------- 
G/----------------- 

Graham play some strange chords during the verses. I saw the chords in 
a  
live gig that I recorded. But I'll write 13 after the chords. Here they 
are  
in the right order: 

B13: (76x8xx) 
A13: (54x6xx) 
E:   (022100)  
G13: (32x4xx) 
F:   (133211) 
A#13:(65x8xx) 
C#:  (x46664) 

He doesn't play this order all the way during the song. 
When you play the first two "13" chords then bend the G string a 
little. 
But I think he uses some sort of pedal that makes that "bending" sound. 
Because he doesn't bend the G-string when he plays the song. 


Verse 1: 
B 
Do you feel like a chain store? 
A           E 
Practically floored 
G           F 
One of many zeros

Kicked around bored 
B 
Your ears are full, but you're empty 
A                E

Do you go to the country? 
   A          E

Those people there will hurt you 
A#              C# 
'Cos of who you are 
B 
Your ears are full of the language 
        A                   E 
There's wisdom there you're sure 
G                    F 
'Til the words start slurring 
A#                     A 
And you can't find the door (GUITAR FILL 1)
