Build Me Up Buttercup tab by Frank Turner

Tabs

Frank Turner's fantastic cover of The Foundations' Build Me Up Buttercup. Enjoy!

In the verse and chorus, play with the same picking pattern as the first bar unless
indicated otherwise. The one part which isn't 100% true to the recording is that the
low FF in the 2nd bar of the verse is actually played an 8ve above that in the 1st
verse, but I prefer the sound of the low F.
