Bridge 1 till the end....
Bridge 1 tab:
Anyway, I have tabbed the little lead in from the verses to the chorus
for New Test Leper, and also the chords to strum over the tab. Here
goes.

----2----------2----------4----------------------2-------2-----0-------0----
------------------------------------0----------2----------------------------

chords to strum over the tab are....
0 (an A) 0 0 2 (a D) an A chord a G chord
2 3 5 3 2 2 4 2
Enclosed is my slightly different attempt at working out the basic chord
structure of this song - (taken from the acoustic version).
NEW TEST LEPER
the verse goes like this:
D A G -A* D A G (4x, me thinks)
(This bit is more or less right - though on the slide up to the fifth fret
I'm not sure if the bass notes are being played)
the chorus (im pretty sure about this) goes like this:
G A B C D C(3x) G A B C D (that may be wrong - it's >from memory)
Bridge:
Bm A D(4x, me thinks)
and end on Em(7?)
I would guess the chorus is:
A, Bm, C#m, D
A, G ('Call me a leper')
(on last time - just A)
And the bridge I would say is:
(Bm, D, G X2), A
