Ive never written a guitar tab before but this is the little intro part of Lonely End Of The Rink, or at least what I came up with. This is closer to the live version (I.E. no effects)

E||--0h2h3p2p0--7-|--0h2h3p2p0--5-|--0h2h3p2p0--3-|--2h3p2p0--------|
B||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------3---|
G||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
D||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
A||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
E||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
And I think the chords for the parts where it slows down and Gord sings the verses are C - G - Am - E and C -G - Am - C

I appologize for the sloppyness of this but I figure something is usually better than nothing... and I hope this is one of those times.

Guitar One plays lead fills based on the chords, or mimics them an octave higher,
sometimes with an off-beat rhythm


I looked up and you were there
Am              G
Just sitting there all alone
Am                     Em            
Holding your fist in the air
Am                G

Am                C

Repeat Chorus

Verse Two
You Drove me home in a snowy tomb
Am                      G
I fell asleep in my seat
Am                Em
I had the dream of having no room
Am                  G
You were there just staring at me
Am                             C

Repeat Chorus
At the lonely end of the rink
you and me
At the lonely end of the rink
you and me

Guitar One/Two Bridge (One of the guitars is playing
power chords, D5,E5,F5,G5,A5; there are definitely fret harmonics)

I Heard your voice 'cross a frozen lake
Am                          G
voice like the end of a leaf

sayin' you won't die of a thousand fakes,
Am                        G
or be beaten by the sweetest of dekes
Am                              C

Yours is good for the parts I dont have but I remember Robbie playing the intro further down the neck of the guitar, but that may be just how they play it live.
