Then pluck the three top strings in this order: 1,2,3,2.

"I can't be with you", The Cranberries.
From 2nd album 'No need to argue'
A E
Lying in my bed again,
F#m D
And I cry cause you're not here.
A E
Crying in my head again,
F#m D
And I know that it's not clear.
A
Put your hands, put your hands
E F#m D
Inside my face and see that it's just you.
A
But it's bad, and it's mad,
E
And it's making me sad
F#m D
Because I can't be with you
Chorus:
A E F#m D
Be with you, Be with you, Be with you, Be with you,
A E
Be with you, Be with you,
F#m D
Babe I can't be with you.
Thinking back on how things were
And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother
of your child
And now it's just farewell
Put your hands inside my hands
And come with me,
We'll find another end
And my head, and my head
On anyone's shoulder
Cause I can't be with you.
(Chorus)
Cause you're not here, you're not here
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
And back I'm still in love with you.
(ad. lib to end)
Again, this sounds good on an electric-acoustic, using a Passac or
DI and a bit of reverb - but don't go overboard!
The best way to get the 'muffled' acoustic sound is to cut your
fingernails and use no pick. Use your thumb and index finger on
the strings, quickly raking, and your palm to slightly deaden the
strings.. still, if you find a better way... ;)
Use >5th barres for the chords (A == E @ 5th, E == A @ 7th,
F#m == Am @ 7th, D == A @ 5th) when it starts getting going.
Open chords sound good at the start, but once the rest of the
band kicks in, the rapid raking of the barres sounds better.
Haven't worked out the electric in the background yet, tho.

I Don't Need
[G - D - Am - Em. Repeated over and over]
The world is consuming me and I don't feel so happy here today
I'm not and I don't feel and I used to be a baby in my head
So where is it what do you like does she hold you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la etc.
Em Am
I Don't need to see it, no, no, no etc.
Em Am G
I Don't need to see it, no, no, no etc.
My head is hanging now and my eyes are brown, they're brown, they're brown
And everyone's so patronizing I don't see when the rifting comes around
So where is your mother now, and she holds you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la etc.
I Don't need to see it....
And there'll be no more time today, no more time today, no, no
No more time today, no more time today.....

i'm sure i won't be rude
but it's just your attitude
G
it's tearing me apart it's ruining everyday.
I also like to alternate A and A6 between measures to add some
variety to it.
I swore, I swore I would be true
but honey so did you
so why were you holding her hand
is that the way we stand
were you lying all the time
was it just a game to you
But I miss you
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger
do you have to
do you have to
do you have to let it linger
Oh, I thought I loved you
I thought that nothing could go wrong
but I was wrong
I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
trying not to lie
things wouldn't be so confused
and I wouldn't feel so used
but you always ruin you
I just wanna be with you
and I miss you
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger
do you have to
do you have to
do you have to let it linger
and I miss you
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger

you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger

The timing here is probably a bit rough but you get the general idea.
Then you kick your overdrive in and play the top 4 bass strings on each chord.
I think there is 2 sets of this played ending with a long Em
and then the verse. I tend to simulate the bass by playing softly on the
strings and then the guitar bits much louder, if you listen to the CD this
seems to be close to what they are doing

^The lead comes in about here
The lead riff is
e---7h8--5h7--3h5--2h3p2---------
B------------------------3-3-0---
The verse varies a bit but is more or less based on the above.
I haven't worked out the solo yet but seems to use two guitars one playing
a riff based on the lead riff above (well at least it starts like that)
e---7h8--5h7-7-7-7- Repeat
Or something like that and then the other guitar comes over the top.
Well thats about it, I did work out the little bass riff but I forget how
it goes though it is based around E open, E third, A 5th, A 3rd and A open.

Occasionally in the heavier parts I substitute
Cadd9 for C/G (330210) for a bit of variety.
Zombie, The Cranberries
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
but you see, it's not me
it's not my family
in your head, in your head
they are fighting
Chorus
With their tanks, and their bombs,
and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are cryin'
In your head, In your head
Zombie, etc.
What's in your head in your head, in your head
Zombie, etc.
Another mother's breakin'
heart is taking over
when the violence causes silence
we must be mistaken
it's the same old theme since 1916
in your head,
in your head they're still fightin'
Chorus
VARIANT 2

Here I post some minor corrections to the main riff of this song.
Since this little gem plays a major role in the song, it may be worth
while considering. Here is the version as I figured it out from the CD
last night.

Why should I blame her,
there she filled my days
With misery or that she would of late
Have taught to ignor can't man violent ways
Or harled the little streets upon the grenout
Had they but courage
Equal to desire
Sad there Mand Gonne couldn't stay
But she had MacBride anyway
and you sit here with me
on the isle In istree
and your writing down everything
But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In the grave...
Why should I blAme her,
Had they but courage equal to desire
