TEDDY PICKER - ARCTIC MONKEYS
Just recently found out how to play this song, and so I thought I'd show you - the
people of Ultimate Guitar - how to play this. I've seen some tabs for this and they're just
a little bit wrong. I'm pretty sure this is 100% correct.
ALEX TURNER - E A D G B E
JAMIE COOK - E A D G B E
