Tabbed By : Ethan Linck

Tuning: Normal
The bass doesn’t come in until the :50 second mark and cuts out during the verse. This
tab is for the recorded version on the album Bang Bang, live it’s quite a bit different
The lyrics are not intended to be a guide for timing, only to note where each bit of the
song is.

That's it. Occasionally it is hard to hear the bass and I may have the number of
repetitions wrong, but other than that this tab is correct.
