Amazin Second Album… hawayyyy the Monkeys!!
Chorus:
Em Bm
Do the bad thing
Am G F#
Take off your wedding ring
Em Bm
But it wont make it that much easier
Am G F#
It might make it worse
Verse1: (rhythm |Dm 2 3 C| A 2 3 4|Dm 2 3 C|A 2 3 4|
Dm
The night's like a whirlwind
C A
Somebody's girlfriend is talking to me
Dm C A
But it's alright , she's saying that he's not that he's gonna slap me
A
Or try to attack me, he's not the jealous type
BRIDGE: heavy downstrokes!
Dm Am
I've been before and all these capers makers to the floor
Dm Am
Then to ignore, she's talking but I'm not entirely sure
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/arctic_monkeys/bad_thing_crd.html ]
Dm Am, Dm Am, Dm Am, F# G
CHORUS: (same progression Em, Bm, Am, G F# x2)
Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it wont make it that much easier
It might make it worse
Verse2:
Dm (strum once, then bass only!)
Somebody's partner is talking to me
But I don't that is what she isn't
She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants
And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response
Bridge: Dm Am
Like I don't mind
Be a big mistake for you to wait and help me waste your time
Really love it's fine
Said really love it's fine
Dm Am x 3 F# G
FINAL CHORUS: same chords as original chorus, Em. Bm, Am, G F#
And the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Oh but she carried on suggesting
I struggled to refuse
She said it's the red wine this time
But that is no excuse
Em
