The Fratellis - Too Much Talk In Tokyo
Standard Tuning, may not be in correct key as I did it by ear from memory but i'm pretty
it is spot on, send any corrections/comments to gregdudley7@yahoo.co.uk
I think it could be an Em not an Em7 but for easy of playing the Em7 works perfectly
don't strumm the last 2 strings if you don't want to... you may need to listen to the song
get the strumming timing but it's a cool song and easy to master...
