OK here is how I play Girl on A Motorbike, first of all tune your guitar to:
LOW TO HIGH: G,C,D,G,C,D. Secondly if your playing the overdrive guitar parts I would suggest
getting as much gain on your amp as possible so the notes will ring until the cows come home.

Intro
-----
Overdrive Guitar
D|---------------|
C|---------------| Try and fade in the first note and slide the rest in a smooth
G|---------------| motion, I think the intro to this song sounds a bit like a
D|---------------| motorbike sound, maybe its just me...
C|---------------|
G|--7--7/8--8/9--|


Verses
------
Clean Guitar
D|--x-x-x-x--/--x-x-x--\--3-3-3-3--\--x-x-x-x--|
C|--0-0-0-0--/--0-0-0--\--0-0-0-0--\--0-0-0-0--| No rythm is shown here so just listen
G|--5-5-5-5--/--8-8-8--\--3-3-3-3--\--1-1-1-1--| to the song for the timing.
D|--5-5-5-5--/--8-8-8--\--0-0-0-0--\--1-1-1-1--|

Overdrive Guitar
D|-----------------------|
C|-----------------------| While the clean guitar is playing the above
G|-----------------------| chords play this slide riff over and over
D|-----------------------| and then go into the chorus section....
C|-----------------------|
G|--5--5/7--7\5--5/8--9--|


Chorus
------
Clean Guitar
D|--x-x-x-x--/--x-x-x--\--3-3-3-3--\--1-1-1-1--|
C|--0-0-0-0--/--0-0-0--\--0-0-0-0--\--0-0-0-0--| These chords are constantly being strummed
G|--5-5-5-5--/--8-8-8--\--3-3-3-3--\--1-1-1-1--| throughout the whole song until the interlude section
D|--5-5-5-5--/--8-8-8--\--0-0-0-0--\--1-1-1-1--| so just keep the rythm going until then.

G|--5-5-5-5--/--8-8-8--\--3-3-3-3--\--1-1-1-1--|

Overdrive Guitar
D|----------------------------------------------|
C|----------------------------------------------| Continue from the verse riff into this one and
G|----------------------------------------------| it should sound great, make sure every note is
D|----------------------------------------------| ringing out with loads of overdrive.
C|----------------------------------------------|
G|--9--9/17--17\15--15\7--7/17--17\15--15\8--9--|


Interlude
---------

As you all probably know in the interlude section there is a really faint guitar solo that
fades in and out, well I've tried numerous times to tab that and I've just not been succeeding
So until someone with ultra sonic hearing tabs it out, you will have to do without. Hehe, I'ts
not very important in the song and the interlude sounds ace without the faint solo.

Clean Guitar
D|-----------------|
C|--7-8-7-8-7-8-7--| Stop playing the chords and play these two notes over
G|-----------------| and over while mr overdrive plays the below riff.
D|-----------------| Once you decide to stop the interlude you need to come
C|-----------------| back into the song on the 2nd chord in the verse / chorus chords.
G|-----------------|

Overdrive Guitar
D|---------------------------------------------|
C|---------------------------------------------| This is the chorus riff, just play it except
G|---------------------------------------------| play it louder so you have center stage and are
D|---------------------------------------------| not in the background anymore.
C|---------------------------------------------| Have fun with this Swervedriver classic.....
G|--9--9/17--17\15--15\7--7/17--17\15-15\8--9--|
