Arctic Monkeys - The Afternoons Hat Tabbed by: Aled Parry Email: [email protected] This is a B-Side from 'My Propeller' EP. Tuning: Standard E
Please listen to the song for strum timing etc. Personally the strumming is easy. But singing at the same time is a challenge. Alex Turner has really stepped up his skills in this track.
[Intro] Am
[Verse] Am Made me kiss ya' with a whisper FDmAm and violently you swung, through unfamiliar tounge AmFDmAm Couldn't listen to tradition, grabbed me by the wrist to silently insist
[Chorus] FDmAm And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place FDmAm The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste FDmAm Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat FDmAm Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at
[Verse] Am You stood shirtless and confident FDmAm (pausa) Listenin' to the fools, tickling the rules Am Their obsessions follow patterns FDmAm Sat upon their stools, with their attitudes
[Chorus] FDmAm And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place FDmAm The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste FDmAm Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat FDmAm Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at

[Chorus/Outro] FDmAm And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place FDmAm The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste FDmAm Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat FDmAm (ring) Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at.
