Version 1.2
Tuning: Standard
Key: A 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
Verse 1
AI thought I saw you in the battleship
Dbut it was only a looBmk-a-like
AShe was nothing but a vision trick
DUnder the warniBmng light
F#mShe was close, closeA enough to be your ghost F#m
ABut my chances turned to toast
D Bm A (F#m A F#m)
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 F#m A F#m E, listen out for the strumming)
Chorus
DAnd I elongated my lift home, Bm
F#mYeah, I let him go the long way 'round D
BmI smelt your scent on the seatbelt
EAnd kept my shortcuts to myself
A D E (Come in with A at the end of the chorus and play these chords like in the verse)
Verse 2 (Same Pattern)
AI thought I saw you in the parrots beak,
DMessing with the smoke alBmarm,
AIt was too loud for me to hear her speak,
DAnd she had a broken aBmrm,
F#mIt was close, so cloAse that the walls were wet F#m
AAnd she wrote it out in letra-set
DNo, you can'Bmt call me her name C#m
