The 1975 - Girls

Tab By Ethan Clay


I tabbed from this version of the song:

It probably isn't perfect, I've done this by ear and by watching some of the videos of 
them playing it live, it sounds pretty accurate though.


When I play it I normally kind of just make up my own strumming pattern for the 
Pre-Chorus and the Outro...
