[Note]
This is a simplified version of The Lemon Twigs' "What You Were Doing" without a lot of the melodic work for
easier sight reading.
There's also a tabbed out version on UG by mileskane if you're looking for a more complete
transcription of both guitars with the melodic/riffy stuff included, but you should also be able to use this
as a framework and add those bits around it if you prefer.
