Frank Turner - Four Simple Words This is as close to what Frank plays as I can deduce, I know for a fact there is at least one area where he transitions through three different chords, however, I cannot hear this at all, and I cannot make out the chords from his hands on the video I am using. *The symbols used in this tab are visual representations of what should be done. A '~' means hold the chord, a '.' represents staccato, 'X' is an open strum. **I hope you enjoy playing this song :) -INTRO- C~ E~ Because we're all so very 21st century, Am~ Dm~ you're probably listening to me on some form of portable stereo. C~ Maybe you're sitting at the back of the bus, E~ or it's running up your sleeve and you're across from your boss, Am~ F~ or you're sitting in your bedroom on your own with the lights down low. Dm~ G~ I'd like to teach you four simple words, so that next time you come to a show C~ F~ you can sing those words back at me, like they're the only words that you know. -INTRO/CHORUS- CI (x32010@1)want to dance.

Four simple words. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is based on the performance at Wembley Arena -- which can be found on YouTube -- that I was lucky enough to attend. Frank has now recorded this song for the album and all lyrics and music are finalised, when I can find a clear finished version of the song, I'll update any and all lyrics that require it.
