Stereophonics, Surprise :
Tab by tommocraig.     11/11/09
My first tab, cant believe there are no others of this brilliant 'phonics song.
Standard tuning, not too sure about the G in this tab, have been using just the top 
heavy on the top
3 strings for the riffs.Play along to the song (7:15 into rooftop, last song on J.E.E.P. 
sounds great, pity
I havent got the voice. Enjoy.
Riff :       Esus4      E  G(just top string)      Ax   2
