Tabbed by: Robert Farrell Date: Monday May 9, 2011 Email: mynameisramone@gmail.com Version 1.0 Tuning: Standard Key: G Major Today, ladies and gentlemen, we have a tab for 'Black Treacle' the second track from Arctic Monkeys upcoming fourth album entitled 'Suck it and See' This is a tab of the live version so I will make any adjustments when the studio version actually gets released but I don't expect any of the chords to change so this is about as accurate as it will ever be. Nothing too complex here, can all be played open with the exception of a couple of chords. I'll post a link to the youtube video if you want to play along which you will probably need to, to get to grips with the strumming as there is a fair bit of off-beat strumming throughout the verses. Regardless, learn, enjoy and as usual; email me if you have any issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmJIWRAam1M Intro: G G Lately I?ve been seeing things, G D C G D Belly button piercings in the sky at night, D C When we?re side by side, G D C And I don?t mean to rain on anybody?s cabaret, C G D One of those games you?re gonna lose, D C G But you wanna play it just incase, G C D G And now it?s getting dark and the sky looks sticky, G C D G More like black treacle than tar, G C D Black treacle, D G Em Cm (let ring) G Somebody told the stars you?re not coming out tonight, Cm (let ring) And so they found a place to hide.
