PLEASE RATE THIS! THANKS!

Favourite Kings of Leon song this one,

but no one seems to have tabbed it right yet!

The song is pretty simple and I have tabbed

lead and ryhthm for it but I do not know the bass

so you may have to work that one out for yourselves!

The format of the song is:

Intro

Verse 1

Chorus 1

Link 1

Verse 2

Chorus 2

Link 2

Verse 3

Chorus 3

Outro

CALEB (rhythm) plays the first three stings only

all through the song up until the outro (he only

plays it continuously in the intro with

Matthew and strikes the chord once at the start

of Verse 1 & 2):

e--16--|
b--17--|
g--16--|
d------|
a------|
e------|

The intro and verse for MATTHEW (lead) is also

quite simple:

e---------------------------------------|
b---------------------------------------|
g---------------------------------------|
d---------------------------------------|
a--7-9-11--11-11-11--7-9-11--11-11-11---|
E--0-0--0--0--0--0---0-0--0--0---0--0---|

e---------------------------------------]

b---------------------------------------]

g---------------------------------------]

d--11-9-11--11-11-11--11-9-11--11-11-11-]
a---0-0--0---0--0--0---0-0--0---0--0--0-]

E---------------------------------------]

(This is played for Intro, Verse 1 & 2, and

Link 1)

The chorus is only played by MATTHEW.

The ~ means let the chord ring out):

e--------------]

b--------------]

g--------------] x4

d--9-9-9-7~~~~-]
a--7-7-7-5~~~~-]
E--0-0-0-0~~~~-]

(This is played in Chorus 1,2 & 3)

In Link 2 and Verse 3 Caleb plays his chord

throughout and MATTHEW plays this through

both aswell (both go back to normal Chorus

playing for Chorus 3).

e--12------------]
b-----14---------]
g--------13-11-9-]

d----------------]

a----------------]

E----------------]

In the Outro CALEB plays this:

e-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
b-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
g-1-1-1-1111-1-1-1-1-]
d-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-]  x 12
a-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-]
E-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]

While MATTHEW plays this:

e--------------------]

b--------------------]

g--------------------]

d--------------------] x 12

a-7-7-5-5577-5-5-5-5-]
E-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]

Then CALEB ends the song with:

e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

b-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

g-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

d-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

a-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

E-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

And MATTHEW ends the song with:

e-------------------|
b-------------------|
g-------------------|
d-------------------|

a-7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|

E-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|

I explained it in the simplest way I could but it

probably leads to some confusion so any trouble
