Hello, i'm bringin you the tab for 'A certain romance' by Arctic Monkeys. Amazing song. I've seen many tabs
and none of them were completely right and complete, so here i made a mix of them and also corrected a 
few things by myself.First of all, this tab is only for Guitar 1 (played by Alex), in my opinion is
much more fun to play Guitar 1 than 2 (anyway i'll try to upload Guitar 2 as well).
Pay attention to the quantity of "-" between notes, to get the rhythm of the song,
but also it would be better for you to learn if you listen to it.

It isn't really important how many times do you play the chord muted,
you just have to do some scratches with strings.
