This is a really good song, by one of the best modern indie bands out there at the moment.
The Wombats bassist uses a pick, so to recreate his tone, it sounds better with one
I’m not a huge fan of picks).
It’s really easy to play and sing, if you’re with a good drummer,
who can keep the timing well, as the majority of the song is just bass and drums.
I’ve included lyrics to make it easier. Happy learning!
PS: This song is very repetetive, but the few small changes that are made are
quite hard to pick out, so this tab may not be 100% accurate. Its
all the right chords though.
