The Kooks - Ooh La
[ chords by: WheezyE (SaskStrum on Youtube figured them out though)]
I've had this on my computer for quite a while. I remember laboriously going over this
tab for a while, but I can't remember how much is original. I think all the chords are
original, but if I ripped you off I'm sorry.
Fun fact, I heard the band pronounce their name as "The Cooks." Not like "kooky", but
like "cook."
