This is how I play Morrissey`s My Love Life, the KROQ live version at
least. The studio version skips the part guitar I plays in the intro,
and goes straight into the main riff. On the version Alain Whyte and co.
play live, the main riff is played alot more freely (strummed more).
I realize there are a lot of inaccuracies in my tab, but I just
tried to produce a rough sketch. I would appreciate it if anybody
could mail me, or post, corrections.

I know you love, one person
but why can`t you love two?
(chorus)

give a little something
E G D *C D * note: pick with first three strings
give a little something and slide chords
(main riff)
to my love life
my love life
my love life
oh..
I know you love one person
why don`t you love two?
etc...

Someone else please post more Smiths/Morrissey, Pixies, J&M Chain,
Sex Pistols, Lush, or anything else slightly alternative, that
guitar magazines fail to comprehend.
Good night, and thank you,
