Toxic Girl

Toxic Girl - Kings Of Convenience
Tabbed by Simon Bance, Nov 2004 (finally!)
First the rhythm guitar part (Eirik).  Now I think I should explain that he is using the old technique of picking the bass note with his thumb and then flicking the rest of the chords with his index finger in an up-down motion.  The fact that there are two or three chords after the bass note in the pattern is not necessarily 100% corect as it changes, and any guitarist will be able to decide for themselves what is best.

Wow I'm so proud of myself!   :)

Now for Erlend's "lead" guitar part which is just the same as always (sorry that the bar lengths are annotated at twice the actual length - it makes it easier to understand!);

**Melody guitar part**

N.B.
x=10
y=11
z=12

Melody from chorus;
