version 2
Tuning: C# F# B E G# C#
Key: F#
Most of the song features two guitar tracks (Stu and Cook are listed in the album liner notes)
which I’ll tab out with a third guitar track that I'll mention where appropriate.
There are also some ambient noises going on at times, which is Ambrose on harmonica and not guitars.
All of the song is in 4/4. They do have some 3 against 2 vibes going on in the drum parts,
but that is not very important for the guitar parts. I’ll explain the chorus riff works rhythmically.

INTRO (0:00)
=======================================================
We’ll mostly be using eighth note triplets in 4/4, i.e. 3 evenly spaced notes per quarter note beat.
The riff works like this.
1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a| 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a|
C#|------------------------|------------------------|
G#|-5-----7-----5-7---7----|-5-----7-----5----------|
E|-5---5-7---7-5-7---7---7|-5---5-7---7-5----------|
B|-5---5-7---7-5-7---7---7|-5---5-7---7-5-7---7---7|
F#|------------------------|---------------0---0---0|
C#|------------------------|------------------------|
The chords on the ‘a’s aren’t played super clearly, it’s somewhere between the chord and
playing muted strings. The accents fall on the beat, play those more prominently.
I’ll be writing it a bit more compact to save space and make the tab more readable.

I see Mars on TV
I see people happy

Blistered fingers

That world has no place for me
Red Mars

Live large
Red Mars for the rich, rich
Mars for the privileged
Earth for the poor
Mars terraforming slowly
Earth has been deformed
Just forget it, ya ain't coming here
The ticket's too dear
I stare sadly into my beer
That world has no place for me
Red Mars

Live large
Red Mars for the rich, rich, rich
Rich

Live large
Red Mars for the rich, rich, rich
