Arctic Monkeys - The Afternoons Hat
Tabbed by: Aled Parry
This is a B-Side from 'My Propeller' EP.
Tuning: Standard G
Please listen to the song for strum timing etc.
Personally the strumming is easy.
But singing at the same time is a challenge.
Alex Turner has really stepped up his skills in this track.
