Hey guys, this is an update on a tab I did years ago, its for the weight (the opener to 
editors' fourth album). I already tabbed the demo acoustic version of the song back when 
it was called "The weight of your love" but here's the album version

Opening riff

Lead Guitar


e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-/8-/7-/13-------/8-/7-/12------/8-/7-/13------/8-/7-/3--------------------|

Verse Riff

Rhythm Guitar

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------3---------0-----0--------0--------0----0--------------------------|
D|------0--0------0--0-----0-----0--0-----0--0----0--------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3---------3---------3------1------3---------3----------------------------|

or alternatively play this

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------3-----0----0--------0----0----0---------------------------------------|
D|----0-----0-------------0----0----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3-----3-----3-------1----3-----3------------------------------------------|

Or even this variation

Verse bridge (The "strike down on me" part)

D|-------2------2---2--------8-----8----8------------------------------------|
A|-----2------2------------8-----8-------------------------------------------|

Then the bass carries on playing this riff twice while the rhythm plays the verse riff again

A|--6------6-----6------5(5)---5(5)--(5)-----6------6------6-----------------|
E|-------------------3------3------3-----------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------3------3---3----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------0------0---0-------5-----5-----5--------------|
D|------8------8-----8-------4------4-----------5(5)--5(5)---(5)-------------|
A|----8(8)---8(8)---(8)----5------5-----5-----3-----3------3-----------------|
E|--6------6------6----------------------------------------------------------|

On the second chorus a violin does this every now and again

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
