Tuning: Standard
Key: 
A augmentedA major
OK here we have the tab for Cornerstone by Arctic Monkeys, if you use this is
conjunction with Sanjuro333's tab for Jamie's part you can play the whole song
with 2 guitars, so go forth and learn it!
You may want to work out strumming and timing for yourself especially in the bridge and solo
where it gets a bit different. It's overall a pretty simple song from the new album.
Guitar 1 (Alex Turner)
Intro
A augmentedA
Verse 1
A augmentedA
I thought I saw you in the battleship
B minorBm
but it was only a look-a-like
A augmentedA
She was nothing but a vision trick
B minorBm
Under the warning light
F# minorF#m
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
A augmentedA
But my chances turned to toast
Dmaj7Dmaj7)
When i asked her if i could call her your name
Verse 1 [cont] (Same pattern)
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there
She was close, and she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name.
(To transition into the chorus play this; A augmentedA Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA Dmaj7Dmaj7 E, listen out for the strumming)
Chorus
B minorBm
And I elongated my lift home,
D MajorD
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
B minorBm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
E MajorE
And kept my shortcuts to myself
A augmentedA D MajorD B minorBm (Come in with A augmentedA at the end of the chorus and play these chords like in the verse)
(In the acoustic version Alex plays A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE to transition into the next verse)
Verse 2 (Same Pattern)
A augmentedA
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak,
B minorBm
Messing with the smoke alarm,
A augmentedA
It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
B minorBm
And she had a broken arm,
F# minorF#m
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
A augmentedA
And she wrote it out in letra-set
C# minorC#m
No, you can't call me her name
Bridge
C# minorC#m
Tell me where's your hiding place
C# minorC#m
I'm worried I'll forget your face
F# minorF#m
And I've asked everyone
E6E6 optional here)
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
Chorus
B minorBm
And I elongated my lift home,
D MajorD
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
B minorBm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
DmDm
And kept my shortcuts to myself
Solo
A augmentedA D MajorD B minorBm x2 (Play this like you would in the verse)
B minorBm
E MajorE
Verse 3
A augmentedA
I saw your sister in the cornerstone
B minorBm
On the phone to the middle man
A augmentedA
When I saw that she was on her own
B minorBm
I thought she might understand
A augmentedA
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
D MajorD
She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,
A augmentedA
You can call me anything you want
And I mean that Eric ;)
