The melody of The Drugs Don’t Work by The Verve runs 323 notes across 52 bars, 4:09 long in C at 77 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
