Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is Alex Turner's part for the song, which is mainly chords until the little solo medley bit at the end of the Chorus.
VERSE 1: GGGGGGGG Lately I've been seeing things,
GGGGDDCC Belly button piercings,
CCGGGGDD In the sky at night,
DDCCCCGG When we're side-by-side.
GGGGGG And I don't mean to rain,
GGDDDDCC On anybody's caboret,
CCGGGGDD One of those games you're gonna lose,
DDCCCCGG But you wanna play it just incase.
CHORUS 1: C Now it's getting dark,
DG And the sky looks sticky,
CDG More like black treacle than tar,
C Black treacle,
DGACmG Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight,
CmG So they found a place to hide.
(On the second Cm, sometimes I like to play this: |--5~--| |--3~--| |--3~--| |--5~--| |--3~--| |------|
SOLO THING: |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |--/14~/16------------------| |----------14b~-14b~-12-----| |-----------------------14--| |---------------------------|
It's pretty much the same until the bridge: BRIDGE: C Now I'm out of place,
DG And I'm not getting any wiser,
C I feel like the Sundance Kid,
DG Behind a synthesizer,
Em And I tried last night,
CD To pack away a laugh,
GCm Like a key under the mat,
CD Well it never seems to be there,
When you want it.
Repeat the solo thing over the chorus 'till end, ending on: |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |--/14~/16-------------------| |----------14b~-14b~-16-12~--| |----------------------------| |----------------------------|
