Transcription: satir3 Note I: There are two guitars in this song Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy. This is what Alex Kapranos plays. I know that some chords don't sound right, like A5 in verse, but there is definitely ''major-ish'' sound coming from Alex's guitar (you must remember that there are two guitars in the song). During chorus Alex definitely plays full A-major chord, and then I think he realises his mistake and he changes it to A-minor just before B7 chord, hence the smile on Nick's face at 1:36 minutes of this video. In later lines he plays A-minor. Please do watch the video, for rhythm , riffs and strumming.
