Want You Gone/Tabs
From JoCopedia
Here are the base chords underlying that chorus riff: F#-G#m-A#m-B x3 - D-E to end the chorus on the "Now I only want you..." part.
Also, after the main riff that chord leading into the chorus is a C#7.
Joco plays this live in a different key (G) than on the record. On the record I think he's playing it in A.

Here are a set of chords for those who'd like to strum along instead:
A F#m
Well here we are again
D E
It's always such a pleasure
A F#m
Remember when you tried
D E
to kill me twice?
A F#m
Oh how we laughed and laughed
D E
Except I wasn't laughing
A F#m
Under the circumstances
D C# F#
I've been shockingly nice
F# Abm Bbm B
You want your freedom? Take it
F# Abm B C#
That's what I'm counting on
F# Abm Bbm B
I used to want you dead but
Bm E A
Now I only want you gone
A F#m
She was a lot like you
D E
(Maybe not quite as heavy)
A F#m D E
Now little Caroline is in here too
A F#m
One day they woke me up
D E
So I could live forever
A F#m
It's such a shame the same
D C# F#
will never happen to you

You've got your short sad life left

That's what I'm counting on
F# Abm Bbm B
I'll let you get right to it

Now I only want you gone
A F#m
Goodbye my only friend

Oh, did you think I meant you?
A F#m
That would be funny
D E
if it weren't so sad
A F#m
Well you have been replaced

I don't need anyone now
A F#m
When I delete you maybe
D C# F#
I'll stop feeling so bad
F# Abm Bbm B
Go make some new disaster
F# Abm B C#
That's what I'm counting on
F# Abm Bbm B
You're someone else's problem
Bm E A
Now I only want you gone
Bm E A
Now I only want you gone
D E
Now I only want you
A
gone
Here's a basic interpretation for the guitar that kind of imitates the electronic original:

Intro/Main Motif Е|-----------------||-----------------| B|-----------------||-----------------| G|-----------------||-----------------| D|---2---2---1-----||---0---0---3-----| A|-0---0---0-------||-0---0---0-------| E|-----------------||-----------------| Verse 1 Е|-----------------||-----------------| B|-----------------||-----------------| G|-----------------||-----------------| D|---2---2---1-----||---0---0---3-----| A|-0---0---0-------||-0---0---0-------| E|-----------------||-----------------| E|-----------------||----------------------| B|-----------------||----------------------| G|-----------------||----------------------| D|---2---2---1-----||---0---0--------------| A|-0---0---0-------||-0---0--------------2-| E|-----------------||---------0-0-0-0-2-4--| Е|-----------------||-----------------| B|-----------------||-----------------| G|-----------------||-----------------| D|---2---2---1-----||---0---0---3-----| A|-0---0---0-------||-0---0---0-------| E|-----------------||-----------------| Е|-----------------||-----------------| B|-----------------||-----------------| G|-----------------||-----------------| D|---2---2---1-----||---0---0-----3---| A|-0---0---0-------||-0---0-----4---4-| E|-----------------||---------4-------| Chorus F#, Absus4, Bbm, B F#, Absus4, Bbm, B F#, Absus4, Bbm, B Bm, E And there's this little riff on the main motif before verse 2 Е|---------------------------------||---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------||---------------------------------| G|---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-||---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-| D|-----2-------2-------1-----------||-----0-------0-------3-----------| A|-0-------0-------0---------------||-0-------0-------0---------------| E|---------------------------------||---------------------------------| Verse 2 is the same as verse 1 Chorus Intro/Main Motif Verse 3 (the same, except you leave the second bar empty on the "Oh, did you think I meant you?") Final Chorus F#, Absus4, Bbm, B F#, Absus4, Bbm, B F#, Absus4, Bbm, B Bm, E, A, F#m Bm, E, A, F#m Bm, E, A Optionally, if you're in a generous mood you can throw in Asus2/G# between the A and F#m here. If you prefer strumming to picking, the chords to the verse are the same as those in "I'm Your Moon" (sort of), although you can leave the A string bass in there if you want. Asus2, Asus2/D#, Asus2/D, Asus2/F Asus2, Asus2/D#, Asus2/D, E Asus2, Asus2/D#, Asus2/D, Asus2/F Asus2, Asus2/D#, Asus2/D, C# Or, you know, you can make it a plain A with that same walkdown. Play with it and do whatever feels right. Although I would mute the high E in any case.
