Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
This is british indie at its best. They've got ten times the talent of the arctic
i think they should be so much bigger than they are
I've tabbed the album version so I'm not sure if the single sounds different.
Also this is my first tab so be nice yeh? I've tried to get it as close to how they play
but i doubt its perfect. If you have an improvements for it then let me know.
Chords Used:
E A D G B E
C - 8 10 10 9 8 8
F - x 8 10 10 10 8
G - x 10 12 12 12 10
or (both sound good)
3 5 5 4 3 3
you can work out the strum patterns for yourself its not too hard
