LIVING PROOF
KEY: Dm
HIT WORD WRAP

Right. I guess i should a bit of blurb here.
This is an easier song to play than it is to tab!! But i'm gonna have a go.
Looking at my DVD's it appears that GENERALLY Andy tends to play the barre chords (Ouch) and laurie/whoever is on guitar 2 plays at the nut. But having said that, Andy likes to mix up his chord positions quite a bit...i think he likes to keeps the guitarists watching him in the front row trying to figure out how to play the songs!!

{{INTRO}}

The song actually starts by hitting an A chord for a bit.
One guy barred, the other open.
Then they do a little riff, and then REALLY slam in an A chord.

The riff is nigh on impossible for me to tab!! But it is based on Dm and C then back into A
So this is a BASIC model. You will have to listen for timing etc.
