------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTUGUESE KNIFE FIGHT - Cage the Elephant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: usernamek Pretty cool song. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more airplay. If you have any comments on how the tab could be improved, please comment below, and I will make the proper revisions. It get annoying when there's 100 tabs instead of just one that we can all agree is good. Tuning: Standard [Intro] He descends down these three chords. Listen to the recording for the strum pattern.
