Tokyo Police Club - Favourite Colour
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: adslam3
A augmentedA few notes before we begin:
1. This is basically how the song goes.
2. You might want to use barred chords.
3. The chords used are G#, F, Eb, C#, Bb majorBb
4. Where I play them on the neck might not be where they are played
in the recording. For example, I play C#C# like x 4 6 6 6 x,
but TPC might play 9 11 11 10 9 9
5. Interpret this as you want, have fun and play whichever style you like.
Tuning: Standard
