  I am not sure if this is completely correct.
  This sounds really good when played with the song. 
  Guitar is tuned down 1/2 step.  - Neal.

  tuned down 1 step.  (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb)
  keep in mind all chords are in relation to dropped tuning.
  
  a D2 i'm talking about is played like this:

  something else, but D2 sounds good)

  version 3
  ---------
  
  Tim Armati 
  
  The intention of this transcription is to provide a sort of strum along
  version to "Ava Adore". The guitar doesn't play a particularly large role
  in the song's sound because of the prominence of electronic sounds so
  essentially this for the sake of reproducing the song whilst one has a
  guitar in their hot little hands.
  
  The song is in the tuning of E flat however my version shown here is to
  be played in this tuning but with the capo at the second fret. This may
  make it simpler to play as it relies more on first-position chords.
  
  
  Intro:
  
  Em~~~~~~~~G~~~Em~~~~~~~~G~~~ x2   note: listen to the song so as 
                                          to get the rhythm right
  
  
  Verse: Repeat intro six times.
  
  
  It's you that I adore...
  
  Pre chorus:
  
  D       Am            Em G  (ie. intro and verse part once)
  We must never be apart
  
  D       Am         
  We must never be apart
  
  Chorus:
  
  G Bm C Am G
  
  Verse 2: same as verse 1
  
  Pre chorus 2: same as pre-chorus 1
  
  
  Chorus 2:
  
  G Bm C Am G  - twice. Then finish with Am.
  
  Verse 3: same as verses 1 & 2
  
  Pre Chorus: play original pre-chorus once.
  
  Solo: The solo is played over the chorus chords played once thru. 
  
  This is not the solo to a tea. It has one or two extra notes added in so
  as to give it a bit of continuum when playing it on an acoustic guitar.
  Also the tone is different as I have transcribed it on different strings
  than those that are heard to be played on the actual song.
  
  
  e----------0-3-5-7-10-7^5-7-5-3-3^5-12-7^5-7-5-3-3^5-7/--------------------
  b------0-3-----------------------------------------------------------------
  g--0-2---------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  
  Chorus 3: same as chorus 2 with extra G then Am tagged on
            when Billy ends the chorus by singing 'We must never be apart'.
  
  
  Outro verse: 
  
  Intro part twice then...
  
  (note: In this section you can hear a guitar part on the recording that
   doesn't include the playing of the G chord. Rather, it plays only Em
   leading up to the D - Am part. I have included the G so as to take into
   account the bass part which is soundind out G)
  
                                
  Em                         G  
  You'll always be my whore
  
  Em                         G      D - Am
  Cause you're the one that I adore 
  
  Em                       G
  Pull you're crooked teeth
  
  Em                           G     D - Am
  You'll be perfect just like me
  
  Em                (note: no G chord now)
  In you I feel so dirty      
  
  D                  Am
  In you I crash cars...
  
  Repeat [Em - D - Am] until the part where Billy's voice drifts off.
  
  
  Outro: Here the bass closes the song out. For the sake of this 
         transcription here is the outro as interpreted for the guitar.

  At the end there is guitar over the "in you I feel so dirty" part 
  and thats just the pre-chorus.I'm think you can figure out the lyrics
  and where the chords go just by listening to the CD so this should 
  cover the song pretty well.
