Chord/Tab song: Conversation Intercom

Soulwax - Conversation Intercom (live acoustic) Transcribed by Dan Lea.

It's in an open B tuning (or whatever you want to call it) as shown. You don't
actually need to detune the low E and A strings since you don't actually play either
of them, but it'd certainly sound better if you do detune the A string (as shown) so
that if you hit it by accident it won't sound crap. This is simply a general guide...
play it how you want.

Slide Guitar:

The main patterns that occur are as follows:

Playing the D, G and B strings (B, F#, B) as in the intro -

[1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4][1][2][3][4][1][2][3][4]

1. 3\|- 0 0 - 0 - 0 3 |0 0 4 0 5 0 0 3\|- 0 0 - 0 - 0 3 |0 0 4 0 5 0 0 3\|

/8 - - - - - - - |7 - - - - - - - |5 - - - - - - - |10- - - 11- - - |

D#|- 0 (0)

And in the second verse play these at the appropriate place:

D#|- 0 1
B-|- 0 0
F#|- 0 0
B-|- 0 0
F#|-
E-|-

Ending:
