Hi guys, I couldn't find a version of this song which included the Bridge part, which is
favorite in this song, so I decided to transcribe it myself.
Pretty simple song, the Kooks plays it in G-major. I've included the intro roughly, you
ALWAYS listen for the rythm of the guitar and try to find your own way of playing it.
Enjoy, Callon
