The Dear Hunter – A Night On The Town (Guitar Tab)

Chords

One of my all time favourite songs! Had a go at working out how to play along on guitar, but as you probably know, some parts feature very little guitar and are very bass / piano heavy. Therefore, choose a strumming pattern that sounds good to you. I have tried to mark the timings of the chord changes within the tab where possible. I've also tabbed out any prominent riffs / motifs, which can be played instead of the chords. I've included lyrics and timings in the song where appropriate. Notes in () are optional, and notes in [] are to let ring. I've also included the names of the chords if you'd prefer to play them in a different position.
