NOTE: In the transcription below, every place there‘s an exclamation point 
(!) above the tab, that‘s where Bonehead‘s riff above has been played 
through one time, to help you figure out the rhythm of the song. 
 
Before the drums and the other instruments chime in, there‘s a little of 
this: 
 
e----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(B)--5-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(G)--5----2--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(D)--5----2---noise------------------------------------------------------------- 
(A)--3----0---------------0-----------0-------3--5--0--------0--3--0----3--5--0- 
(E)----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Now, we have Noel (Guitar #2) playing some of the parts with a dirty 
sounding distortion (some parts I don‘t have listed because they are hard 
to distinguish from the background noise in this song and aren‘t very 
important to the sound of this song as a whole, anyway), but Paul Weller 
(guitar #3) does most of the soloing with the cleaner, heavier distortion 
effect. 
 
So, after Bonehead starts his riff, right at the end of the last time 
through before Paul starts playing, Noel does this: 
 
e---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(G)-----------7b8--7p5--5-----5----------------------------------------------- 
(D)------------------------7-----7-------------------------------------------- 
(A)--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(E)--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Then, Paul: 
 
! 
e-12-----12----------------------------------------- 
(B)-15b17--15b17r15---13--15--13--13------------------ Repeat 
(G)-----------------------------------14-------------- three

On the fourth time:

Here, for 2 times through Bonehead‘s riff, Noel uses a muffled guitar 
effect and picks at an "(Am)" chord, something like this: 
 
(Am) 
e--------------0------------------------------------------------------------ 
(B)-----1--0--1------0--1-----------------------------------------------------
