The Fire And Thud

Arctic Monkeys

Text File

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!
