Listen Up, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis
Song can be found on the UK "Cigarettes & Alcohol" single, and is 
probably one of my top 5 favorite Oasis songs.
Parts of this transcription were taken straight from the official tab 
book for Oasis B-Sides. A special thanks to Mr. Paul Das <p.das@rl.ac.uk> 
for providing these chords, without which I may never have known the 
correct chords for the pre-chorus and chorus!!

Chords used:

	 EADGBe
F#m	(244222)
A	(x02220)
E	(022100)
D	(xx0232)
Faug	(1x3221) [NOTE: it's easier to play this as (xx3221)]
A/E	(002220)
B7	(x24242)
Bm7	(x24232)
A/C#	(x4222x)

[NOTE: During the verses of this song, there are 2 guitars playing 2 
completely different parts. Below are the tabbed parts for guitar 2, with 
the chords played by guitar 1 listed above the tabbed part.]
