The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be
tabbed by dcfc_rules

I noticed that all the tabs here are either wrong, or for the accoustic or old version 
this song.  This tab is for the album and single version.  Thanks to the other guys who 
the old version, helped me change the key and add the riffs in this one.  not 100% on the solo.

Intro:

B  C#m Abm E  x3

Verse:(no guitar, just bass for first bit)
B              C#m
She don't know who she is,
Gm            E
Oh,I can take her anywhere,
B           C#m
Do whatever comes naturally to you,
Abm               E
You know she just don't care,
                  B
You know she just don't care,

Chorus

'Cause I'm always where,
Abm
I need to be,

I would end up with you eventually,
