Scumbag City by The Strypes

Tabs

I think he uses a different tuning, and a capo on the second fret. But i think this sounds quite accurate, with
no need to change tuning.

Intro:

 1  2   3  4 1 2  3  4
e-10--10-9--7----|7--7-9--10----|
B-10--10-10-8----|8--8-10-10----|

Verse: With intro chords

There's empty cans on River Street, scumbag city blues
Sunday morning's indiscrete, Saturday left clues
Last night's claps and filthy slaps need oh no excuse
Are you cutting out or holding back a loop hole or a noose

Verse: With main riff

Just another howling wolf on the killing floor below
Oh no lie you'll find in the first line I should have quit you long ago

There's empty cans on River Street, scumbag city blues
Sunday morning feels complete,
When I get back to you
I could skip and give a miss,
That I'd never choose
Cause even though I take the piss
I'm glad the future's blue
