The Fire And Thud Chords & Tabs
This is a fairly rare song by Arctic Monkeys and I'm not sure if many people
would have heard it but its a class song anyhow.
It's my first tab so you may have to listen to the song a few times the timings.

it carries on in this pattern until the very end where:
("And your hiding in my soup..")
|----2-2-|
|----2-5-|
|----5-4-|
|----4-4-|
|----4-2-|
|-0--2-x-| Alex Turner (the writer presumably, although it could be a cover), swaps between
these chords with the lyrics.
It then resumes the Main Verse "the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud.."
"In the jostling crowd..."
|----2-|
|----2-|
|----5-|
|----4-|
|----4-|
|----2-| ...and the photobooth's a liar.
Assumes Main Verse pattern again.
and it ends "if its *something* in their temples" with the chord.
|----2-|
|----2-|
|----5-|
|----4-|
|----4-|
|----2-|
