Tuning: Standard
Mostly correct, told by JP Reid/The Dragon himself how to play it
This progression makes up the main part of the first verse, just repeat it until it
reaches the I let go of your hand part. Repeat the open B-e string progression at the
end on
a second guitar to replicate the sound of the glock being played; I think Stuart (The
Spider) plays this part when the band have played the song acoustically.

This is the Let go of my hand section, just a repetition of an Asus2 and an E major arpeggio.

The strumming pattern in the chorus is a tasty little off beat bass line over a constant
jangly drone from the highest strings, so, to avoid complications on the tabs, I’ll
just put the chords in order and let you listen to the timing yourself.

The next verse is the same chord progression as the first verse, but instead of being
played as chord it’s the octave of the bass note played as an arpeggio with the open B and
e strings.
Play this section twice

After this it returns to the Pre-Chorus and then the Chorus again. The Wake up, wake up
my angel & Let me know nothing sections are both just the same as the chorus riff, which
is also the same riff that’s played over the chorus. The song end with this, the first
set of chords is the closest to correct, but when played acoustically, a second guitarist
could play the lower bass-ier chords to add an extra harmonic layer to the song:
