The Fire And Thud by Arctic Monkeys This is a fairly rare song by Arctic Monkeys and I'm not sure if many people would have heard it but its a class song anyhow. It's my first tab so you may have to listen to the song a few times the timings. STANDARD TUNING Main VERSE: ("you showed me my tomorrow...") |----2-x-222222--(4)(5)(4)---| |----2-x-555555-- 4-5-4------| |----5-x-555555--(0)(0)(0)---| |----4-x-444444--------------| |----4-x-444444--------------| |-0--2-x-222222--------------| CHORUS "If it's true i'm going to meet you there...") |--2-5-2-5-2--------------------------| |--2-5-5-5-5--------------------------| |--5-6-4-6-5--------------------------| |--4-7-4-7-4---x8 for each chord -----| |--4-7-2-7-4--------------------------| |--2-5-x-5-2--------------------------| with |---(0)(0)-(0)(0)(0)---| |----3 0--0-0-0--------| |---(0)(0)-(0)(0)(0)---| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| at the end. it carries on in this pattern until the very end where: ("And your hiding in my soup..") |----2-2-| |----2-5-| |----5-4-| |----4-4-| |----4-2-| |-0--2-x-| Alex Turner (the writer presumably, although it could be a cover), swaps between these chords with the lyrics. It then resumes the Main Verse "the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud.." "In the jostling crowd..." |----2-| |----2-| |----5-| |----4-| |----4-| |----2-| ...and the photobooth's a liar. Assumes Main Verse pattern again. and it ends "if its *something* in their temples" with the chord. |----2-| |----2-| |----5-| |----4-| |----4-| |----2-| and thats about it!
