The Only One I Know
===============-The Charlatans
This was the Charlatans’ second single (their first with a real
Record contract). It also appeared on their debut album ‘Some Friendly’
Back when they had guitarist Jon Baker, who favoured more ambient,
Effect-laden guitar sounds.

Behind the Hammond riff there’s a Wah guitar playing some muted
Strums with a bit of a funky rhythm.
Verse 1
During the singing the organ plays syncopated (off-beat) stabs
During the C7 and a distorted guitar joins in for Bb, Eb and F
Just hitting the chords once then sustaining them. The wah
Continues in the background.
