Version 1.0
Tuning: Standard

This here is the tab for Fluorescent Adolescent (the live
by Arctic Monkeys. The main differences between the regular version and this version are 
one is played down in a
key (down 1 step) and part of the song 'Only You Know' by Dion is added into the middle, 
is also a tempo change which you should listen out for.

As always, you should work out timing and strumming for yourself as you can't
tell someone how to do that in a tab. Any problems or questions, just shoot me an email 
I'll
back to you ASAP.

Another note; the A chord in brackets you see crop up occasionally is a quick chord
in the middle if you watch the video and listen to the song you can tell how to play it.

Guitar 1 (Alex Turner)

Intro x2
D Bm (A) Em A

Verse 1
                            DYou (xx0232@1)used to get it in your fishnets,

Now you only get it in your night dress,

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness,

Landed in a very common crisis,
                            DEverything's (xx0232@1)in order in a black-hole,
                           BmNothing (x24432@1)seems as pretty as the past though,
                  (A)         EmThat (022000@1)Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco,
                               ARemember (x02220@1)when you used to be a rascal?

Chorus
               EmOh (022000@1)the boy's a slag,
                     AThe (x02220@1)best you ever had,
                     EmThe (022000@1)best you ever had,
          A (x02220@1)              EmIs (022000@1)just a memory and those dreams,
               AWeren't (x02220@1)as daft as they seemed,
               EmNot (022000@1)as daft as they seemed,
                  GMy (320003@1)love when you dreamed them up...

Verse 2
                                   DFlicking (xx0232@1)through a little book of sex tips,
                                  BmRemember (x24432@1)when the boys were all electric?
               (A)                 EmNow (022000@1)when she's told she's gonna get it,
                                     AI'm (x02220@1)guessing that she'd rather just forget it,
                             DClinging (xx0232@1)to not getting sentimental,
                              BmSaid (x24432@1)she wasn't going but she went still,
          (A)                  EmLikes (022000@1)her gentlemen not to be gentle,

Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?

Chorus
                          EmOh (022000@1)the boy's a slag,
                                AThe (x02220@1)best you ever had,
                  EmThe (022000@1)best you ever had,
           A (x02220@1)              EmIs (022000@1)just a memory and those dreams,
                    AWeren't (x02220@1)as daft as they seemed,
                EmNot (022000@1)as daft as they seemed,
                 AMy (x02220@1)love when you dream them up....
