Artist: Franz Ferdinand
Song: Take Me Out
Tabber: Andrew Biles
This is a pretty easy song to play, with a couple of nice lead riffs thrown in.
Both guitars are in standard tuning. For the intro, guitar 2 may play the higher
notes as well, but I'm unsure.
In the verse, the bass plays bars of E, E, A, B, which confused me a bit for a
while, but if you listen a little closer you hear the octaves of the rhythm guitar.
Lyrics are down the bottom, the whole song should be pretty much right, I've
missed out the order of the song, but it's simple enough to work out.

Lyrics:
So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot, then we can die
I know I won't be leaving here with you
I say don't you know
You say you don't know
I say... take me out!
I say you don't show
Don't move, tide is low
I say... take me out!
I say you don't know
You say you don't know
I say... take me out!
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here (with you)
I know I won't be leaving here with you
