'Im Leaving You For Solitude' by Manic Street Preachers
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
from the b-side of the 2010 single (It's Not War) Just the End of Love (CD one)
Tab by James Glover (Sebadonut)

The simplicity of this means you can strum the chords in any position you prefer - in fact, you can hear the 
guitar overdubs on the recording doing exactly that.

[Outro]

There is a key change for the outro - we are now strumming A Em G D. There are a couple of guitar tracks
on the recording doing slighytly different fills - I have tabbed an example in the first bar.
