Song: Books Written For Girls Band: Camera Obscura Album: Underachievers Please Try Harder Tabbed by: rockon1824 There is a picking rhythm throughout song that alternates the bass note between the root and it's fifth, but that note may be played by a second guitar because it's very and in the song, but to get the feel for it it's something like this:
    B                                          E
