Just a Day Guitar Tablature
Artist:   Feeder
Title:     Just a Day
Album:  Echo Park

I'm not sure about this, but I watched Grant Nicholas (lead guitarist) carefully on Jools Holland and he played it something like this. The powerchords are easy enough. On the original track 2 guitars are used to play the interlude and choruses at the same time. When Feeder play live, Taka Hirose (the bassist) plays the interludes, it sounds slightly different.
The second lead guitar kicks in at various stages, particularly the last 2 choruses. The chords are in the right order, it's up to you when to change and how many times to strum.

A5  - 577xxx
E5  - 022xxx
C#5 - 0466xx
G#5 - 466xxx
B5  - 799xxx
E5* - x799xx

Vearse 1:

A5
Wakin' up at twelve in my clothes again
E5                                   A5
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
                   E5
Another night out late
A5
I don't wanna drink don't want to be a clown 
E5                             A5  
Gotta get my feet back on the ground
                   E5
Before it pulls me in

Bridge and Chorus:

C#5        A5             E5
How come it ended up like this
C#5            G#5                A5             B5
And who's gonna catch me when I'm coming down to hit the ground 
again

E5  B5  A5
All by myself
C#5               E5*             B5             A5
Coz I don't wanna drag you down, hold you down, coz you're a friend
E5  B5  A5
I blame myself

Vearse 2:

A5                                     E5
On the underground with the freaks and clowns
                                    A5
Looking at the world through silver clouds
                             E5
But then it then it all came down
A5                               E5
I gotta rise above the emotional flood
                                     A5
Gotta cut these ropes from around my hands
             E5
Pull myself around

Bridge:

C#5         A5            E5
How come it ended up like this
C#5             G#5                A5               B5
And who's gonna be there when I've lost control I'm heading to crashland

Chorus

E5  B5  A5
All by myself
C#5               E5*            B5              A5
Coz I don't wanna drag you down, hold you down, coz you're a friend
E5  B5  A5
I blame myself
C#5                    E5*        B5
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now

It took me almost 2 hours to nail this tab and that includes the double lead guitars. And by the way, Grant Nicholas wrote this just after the Album "Yesterday went too soon" at home on his acoustic so it does sound good on acoustic if you play it right.
