The following day after the release of the song, I've learnt it and make a video of me 
playing that amazing Cage The Elephant's composition... I'm dying to ear the full album ! 
Thank you for watching and have a nice rockn'roll day !

Here's the tab ! :)

I hope to be clear. You know, I'm french and translate the technical terms and explain 
things is really hard for me. But I think this can help you ! :)
Thank you for have watched this video and enjoyed it !

---> This song is in C#m (I think). You can improvise easily in this scale ;) (and it 
will help you for the variations). If you don't know the scales, go looking for the 
pentatonic minor, it will help you a lot.

This variation arrive in the third repetition in the 1st verse and in the second 
repetition in the 2nd verse.

Tip : The second verse is a little bit different, you have to play more notes (like more 
4 in the A string or 6 in the D string) and you have to play them more quickly. I 
failed this part in the video, excuse me..


Just Before the Chorus :

G|-------------------------------|
D|-------2s4-4-4-4-5-5-6---------|
B|-4--4--------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|



Chorus

G|---------------------------------------------|
D|------------4-4-4-4--------------------------|
A|-4-4-4-4-------------4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--------|
E|---------------------------------------------|

In the 4th serie of the four "4" (yeah, I admit this sentence sucks) you can make an 
improvisation in C#m (but one time of two)... It looks like that :

G|---------------------------------------------4----4-----|
D|--------------------------------------6-4-4---4---------|
A|-4-4-4-4--6-6-6-6--4-4-4-4--4-7-------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

Chorus Ending :
D|---4-6

Break :
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------|
Reapeat this 2 times. Next :

G|---------------------------------------------|
D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------------|
A|------------------------------4--------------|
E|---------------------5---4----------0--2-----|


G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|----------4----------------|
E|--5---4----------0--2------|
Here you can do what ever you want about rhythm. When you think it's the time you can 
accelerate. Just respect the atmosphere. :)
