version 1 . 0
tuning : standard
key : G major
today , ladies and gentlemen , we have a tab for ’black treacle’ the second track
from arctic monkeys upcoming fourth album entitled ’suck it and see’ this is a tab
of the live version so i will make any adjustments when the studio version
actually gets released but i don’t expect any of the chords to change so this is
about as accurate as it will ever be . nothing too complex here , can all be played
open with the exception of a couple of chords . i’ll post a link to the youtube
video if you want to play along which you will probably need to , to get to grips
with the strumming as there is a fair bit of off – beat strumming throughout the
verses . regardless , learn , enjoy and as usual; email me if you have any issues .
