A Certain Romance Acoustic by Arctic Monkeys

Tabs 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Chord diagramA augmentedA Certain Romance (Acoustic) - Arctic Monkeys
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Freddie Macauley
E-mail: [email protected]

Tuning: Standard

The majority of this is just the original song an octave lower, this is so it can be
played easily acoustically, without the high notes.

Intro:

Play this twice

Verse 1:

Played and quickly muted, listen to the song you'll get it, there's also the occasional
up,down,up, normally before movement between chords
  Chord diagramBB  Chord diagramE MajorE
e|-2----0---|
Chord diagramBB|-4----0---|
Chord diagramG+G|-4----1---|
Chord diagramD MajorD|-4----2---|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-2--------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|----------|

Chord diagramBB
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Chord diagramBB
Or knackered Converse
Chord diagramBB
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
Chord diagramE MajorE
But all of that's what the point is not
                Chord diagramE MajorE
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
Chord diagramBB
And there's the truth that they can't see
Chord diagramBB
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
Chord diagramBB   Chord diagramE MajorE
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Chord diagramE MajorE
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

Chorus:

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|-6-6-4-----6-4----6-4-------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-------6-4-----6------6-----------------6-6-4-4-----------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-----------------7------7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4---------7-4-4-4-4/3-3-3-3-3-3-|

Verse 2:

The same as Verse 1

Chord diagramBB
And over there there's broken bones
Chord diagramBB
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
Chord diagramE MajorE
 And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
           Chord diagramE MajorE
To see it's a little different around here
Chord diagramBB
Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
Chord diagramBB
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
Chord diagramE MajorE
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
             Chord diagramE MajorE
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Chorus:

The same as before, but played twice:

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|-6-6-4-----6-4----6-4-------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-------6-4-----6------6-----------------6-6-4-4-----------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-----------------7------7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4---------7-4-4-4-4/3-3-3-3-3-3-|

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|-6-6-4-----6-4----6-4-------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-------6-4-----6------6-----------------6-6-4-4-----------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-----------------7------7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4---------7-4-4-4-4/3-3-3-3-3-3-|

Verse 3:

This includes the transition between chorus and verse

e|---2--------------------------------------|

Chord diagramD MajorD|-6---------------6-----6--6--------5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|----------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|----------------------------------------------------|

The actual verse is the same as the other two -

Chord diagramBB
Well over there there's friends of mine
Chord diagramBB
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
Chord diagramE MajorE
And yeah they might overstep the line
            Chord diagramE MajorE        Chord diagramBB
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
Chord diagramBB
Not in the same way
        Chord diagramE MajorE
Not in the same way
       Chord diagramE MajorE
Oh no, oh no no

Solo/Outro:

This is the same as on the actual song, apart from the final chords, the actual song
plays GBe strings of an Chord diagramA7A7 Chord diagramE MajorE chords, then an Chord diagramE7E7 Chord diagramBB chord:
