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

                            D

You 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,

                            D

Everything's in order in a black-hole,

                           Bm

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though,

                  (A)         Em

That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco,

                               A

Remember when you used to be a rascal?



Chorus

               Em

Oh the boy's a slag,

                     A

The best you ever had,

                     Em

The best you ever had,

          A                Em

Is just a memory and those dreams,

               A

Weren't as daft as they seemed,

               Em

Not as daft as they seemed,

                  G

My love when you dreamed them up...



Verse 2

                                   D

Flicking through a little book of sex tips,

                                  Bm

Remember when the boys were all electric?

               (A)                 Em

Now when she's told she's gonna get it,

                                     A

I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it,

                             D

Clinging to not getting sentimental,

                              Bm

Said she wasn't going but she went still,

          (A)                  Em

Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle,



Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?



Chorus

                          Em

Oh the boy's a slag,

                                A

The best you ever had,

                  Em

The best you ever had,

           A                Em

Is just a memory and those dreams,

                    A

Weren't as daft as they seemed,

                Em

Not as daft as they seemed,

                 A

My love when you dream them up....



(Tempo drops here)



Bridge

F#m               Bm

Oh Flo, where did you go?

              Em

Where did you go?

              F#m  Em

Where did you go? Woah.



D Bm Em A



Only you know

D                          Bm                Em       A

I wanna see something that used to be in your eyes again,

   D                   Bm                  Em             A

I'm waitin' to see it, you know it's only a question of when,

         D        F#             G

And I know how much I'm missin' heaven,

    D

You know that it's missin'

              Em

Only you know where you have been to,

D  	         Em

Only you know what you have been through,

    D                            Em

But there's better things you're gonna get into,

                     D

And I wanna be there too....
