------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIVE ALONE - Franz Ferdinand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : Logicaliber e-mail: thanna3992@gmail.com So this is my first tab. I could have chosen something easier, but I'm positive I got it mostly right. Only things I'm not entirely sure of are the chorus might be double notes on the lower note (meaning a constant 16th notes the entire time), but it's too low to tell and probably too fast to play anyway. Also I think he might be playing in drop D, but the only time he hits the low D is in the turnaround after the chorus, so you could probably get away with just going to the high D there. Comment or Email if you agree it's Drop-D and I'll change it. If you're like me and like to embelish on songs I've included the chords above each part. Also check out the LCD Soundtream remix.

I watched a couple live performances and even he(Bob Hardy) starts just playing the bass notes every once in a while.
