Here's a song I tabbed I thought you might want to add to the archive.

"Shelter" by The Alarm
There are actually two guitars, one playing the chords, another playing the
lead riffs.
I believe the song is written in the key of A, if this helps.
Chords:
B5 x2440x
A x02220
D x00232
E 022100
For each riff, I just use the strings it uses to save a little space.
Riff 1:
E|---2---0------------------------|
B|-0---0----0-3--0-2--0-0-0----0--|
G|--------------------------2-2---|
Riff 2:
E|-4-2-0-5--2-0---4-|
B|--------------3---|
Riff 3:
E|-4-5-7-7-5-7-7-4-5-
(Lyrics may not be exactly right, I'm writing from memory)
Intro: B5, play Riff 1, pause, play again (second time is actually slightly
different)
B5 (Riff 1 twice, no pause)
Shelter

D A B5 D A
Ain't got no place left to run
D(Riff 2)A B5 (Riff 1)
No one loves me, anymore, anymore, anymore

I've been exiled, I've been (raised within the street ?), in this wicked world
D A B5 A E D A B5 D A
Persecution, I'm carrying my cross, down here on my knees
D(Riff 2)A B5 (Riff 1)
No one loves me, anymore, anymore, anymore
