Subject: TAB: Take on Me -  A-Ha  (really)

Here's a fun one for you to play around with.  One of those songs
everyone loves but will never admit it.

Intro:

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-7-7-------------9-9-10-10-10-10-10--------------------------------|
G|-----7-----9-9-9---------------------9----11-11-11-9-9-11-9--------|
D|-------9-9-----------------------------12--------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-7-7-------------9-9-10-10-10-10-10--------------------------------|
G|-----7-----9-9-9---------------------9----11-11-11-9---------------|
D|-------9-9-----------------------------12--------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse is:  G/A/D/G  G/A/D/G  G/A/Bm/A

I'm not really sure of the chorus.  It may be because I'm playing the
verse in the wrong key because I have the chords wrong for the chorus.
For the chorus, you can get away with E/G#/A

I'd say the whole thing could use some work, so feel free to chip in.

And while I'm at it, I'd love to trade SUPERCHUNK tab with anyone.
