Chords

Tabbed by: Aled Parry Email: [email protected] This is a B-Side from 'My Propeller' EP. Please listen to the song for strum timing etc. Personally the strumming is easy. But singing at the same time is a challenge. Alex Turner has really stepped up his skills in this track. [Intro] Am [Verse]
Am
Made me kiss ya' with a whisper

    F                     Dm          Am
and violently you swung, through unfamiliar tounge

Am                             F                 Dm       Am
Couldn't listen to tradition, grabbed me by the wrist to silently insist

[Chorus]
                     F          Dm                Am
And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place

                     F         Dm          Am
The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste

                F            Dm            Am
Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat

   F                 Dm                       Am
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at

[Verse]
Am
You stood shirtless and confident

F                 Dm     Am                (pausa)
Listenin' to the fools, tickling the rules

Am
Their obsessions follow patterns

F               Dm      Am
Sat upon their stools, with their attitudes

                     F          Dm         Am

               F             Dm            Am
Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat

   F                Dm                  Am
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at

( F Dm Am ) [Chorus/Outro]
                    F            Dm                 Am
And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place

                    F            Dm        Am
The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste

               F              Dm          Am
Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat

   F                 Dm                      Am (ring)
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at.
