"The Charge" by New Model Army (from the album "Thunder and Consolation")

Here's my favourite NMA song's tab!

Beginning:

G|--------|--------|--------|
D|--------|--------|--------|
A|-------0|2------2|0-------|
E|--------|--------|--------|

On the live version of Raw Melody Men, Nelson plays the chords:

G|-------2|0------0|2-------|
D|-------2|0------0|2-------|
A|-------0|2------2|0-------|
E|--------|--------|--------|

The great little break:

G|--------|------------|
D|--------|42-2--------|
A|-------2|--5-54542420|2
E|--------|------------|

Yeah, I know it isn't rythmically very clear, but the idea is that 
the second note of the break is the first time of the measure, and
the last note is the first one of the next measure.
Just listen to the song - you'll understand.

Chorus:

G|------------|------------|------------|------------|
D|------------|---2--------|------------|---2--------|
A|2-22--2-2254|0-0-540-0540|2-22--2-2254|0-0-540-0540|
E|----35------|------------|----35------|------------|

G|----------|-------------|----------|----------|
D|----------|----4-47-7474|----------|----------|
A|----------|-5-5---------|----------|----------|
E|0-00-00-00|0------------|2-22-22-22|23-3~~~~~~|
let this
one ring

Post-Chorus:

G|------------|------------|------------|------------|
D|------------|------------|------------|------------|
A|2-22222-2222|5-55555-5555|------------|------------|
E|------------|------------|3-33333-3333|3-33333-3333|

In the live version, I think Nelson also does something with
the octave on last G stuff, but the rythm remains the same.

The go back to the beginning.

The part after the second post-chorus:

G|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| 
D|-------6---------6--|-------2---------2--|-------6---------6--|-------2---------2--|
A|44-4444-4-44-4444-4-|00-0000-0-00-0000-0-|44-4444-4-44-4444-4-|00-0000-0-00-0000-0-|
E|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|

G|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| 
D|-------8---------6--|-------4---------4--|-------8---------8--|-------4---------4--|
A|66-6666-6-66-6666-6-|22-2222-2-22-2222-2-|66-6666-6-66-6666-6-|22-2222-2-22-2222-2-|
E|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| 

The last two measures are the only thing I am not sure of. The rest is 100% correct,
absolutely no doubt.

Then go on with the chorus until the end!

Here you go! As I already said, the last two measures of the part after the second post
chorus are probably wrong.
