Tame Impala 'Runway Houses City Clouds' 'Innerspeaker'(2010) First of all, Tame Impala play their songs in D Tuning which is 1 full step below Standard. Guitar 1 will refer to the rhythm (Kevin) and Guitar 2 will refer to the lead/synth (Dominic). This tab is based on the studio version of the song with some tweaks I learned through seeing them live in concert.
