Tuning: Standard Capo 1
This is a very simple and brilliant song by the punk/reggae/ska band The Skints.
I worked this out entirely by ear, sounds near perfect to me. I play this with a capo on 1 although they play it completely open live. (Without the but the chords in the same positions i.e a semitone above the chord names listed here.) All chords relative to capo. I tried to write the scat parts out best I could its the chord sequence anyway so its not hard to get.
Chords C Am F G Dm G#
Listen to the song to get the timings right.
