Biography:
The Fratellis is an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film "The Goonies" (although, by coincidence, Barry's mother's maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory).

The Fratellis - Too Much Talk In Tokyo
Standard Tuning, may not be in correct key as I did it by ear from memory but i'm pretty
it is spot on, send any corrections/comments to [email protected]
I think it could be an Em not an Em7 but for easy of playing the Em7 works perfectly
don't strumm the last 2 strings if you don't want to... you may need to listen to the song
get the strumming timing but it's a cool song and easy to master...
