Chord/Tab song: Five Colours in Her Hair

5 Colours In Her Hair Tab by Mcfly

Hey this tab is correct or very near to it - I'm sure of it! The song is very Beatle-esque
and I really like it. This tab is quite long - cause it covers most of the guitar parts.
This tab took me ages to get to how it is now; I'm a perfectionist lol. Anyway, please bear
with it, cause it will be worth the effort once you've learned it all. Enjoy.

RIFF/SOLO: (this is guitar 2 part during INTRO, and has delay on it)

E|-3-1-3-3--------------------------------------------------------------------- -x-

it is useful to learn this riff first and then learn the rest of the song

Throughout most of the song, both guitars are clean - no distortion
