With much thanks to Nick Yates. Here are the guitar tabs for the 10 tracks from Constellations For The Lonely. Nick has also done tabs for Cally and Lean Into The Wind. These will be available after the Record Store Day release.

I’ve linked all 10 tracks below. They’re also available using the menu tab above, where you can also find Doves entire discography that Nick has kindly transcribed over the years.

As always. The tabs are designed so that you can strum along to Doves’ tracks. The tabs may not reflect exactly how Doves play the songs as some of the recordings are detuned and they are designed so that you don’t have to be Jez or play a right-handed guitar upside down to enjoy them!

Oxford setlist thanks to Jayne! Space Face was played.

Thanks to Kath for the setlist from the show at the Southampton Engine Rooms.

House of Coco reviewed the gig, which you can read an excerpt from below. You can read the full review here.

It was followed up with ‘Carousel’ and ‘Words’ from 2002’s ‘The Last Broadcast’ which really got the crowd going. Jez, stepping up to perform lead vocals, should be really proud of himself; it must have been daunting to take on the mantle from Jimi, but he was absolutely brilliant and was superbly supported by his brother Andy too.

The live sound was elevated by the addition of three incredible musicians in their own right which included the always-superb Christian Madden on keys.

From the anthemic yet introspective ‘Renegade’ with the poignant line ‘And nothing, lasts forever’ to the dreamy vibes of ‘Rise’, this was an assured spin through their career-spanning back catalogue, as well as serving up highlights from their critically-acclaimed latest album ‘Constellations For The Lonely’ which showcase their exemplary musical craftsmanship and is a bona fide masterpiece.

Brighton setlist thanks to Claire Frost at Doves forum. Space Face was played. I’ll get more reaction from the last few gigs over the coming days. Apologies for the lack of updates! I was at three shows from London, updating on the run proved to be difficult. A full recap of the full tour will also soon follow

Southampton Setlist thanks to Kath! Here’s an exerpt of a review of the show from Bristol247 You can read the full review here.

It finally dawned on me what it is Doves really took from acid house. For all the skyscraping melodies and electronic textures, what counts is the sense that music is a shared experience. The mutual support between band and audience. The Williams brothers are still here out of dedication to the idea of Doves, what it can offer people.

It’s why this felt less a gig, and more a communion.

After the final, urgent pulse and escape of Black And White Town, first encore The Cedar Room sounded somehow both enormous and intimate, Jez’s notes rippling out over the swaying crowd.

Then, finally, inevitably, it was There Goes The Fear, ending in a carnival of percussion, lives momentarily lost (and found) in the riot of rhythms.

These are songs that coax out the feelings buried in your chest. This gig was communal catharsis on a Friday night.

Setlist from Norwich this evening thanks to Jo Calvesbert. Spaceface was not played.

Here’s the setlist from this evening’s show at Nottingham’s Rock City, thanks to Rob McCleary at Doves forum. While Strange Weather is on the printed setlist, it is not played. A few who were there say that Jez was having issues with his voice tonight.
