Plastic Tramp
Artist: Arctic Monkeys
Album: Fluorescent Adolescent
This is on the recently released fluorescent adolescent cd. I saw them live two months
at the Avalon in Boston and they were insane. I?m pretty sure this is how it goes for all
guitars. I put the notes and you should be able to figure out where they go if you just
to the song

VERSE 1
He looks as though he hasn?t slept
His hair is purposely un-kept
In many though, his people wept (not about that line)
When you crafted your plan
Shadows underneath the eyes
And everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of proof is your disguise
You won?t remember me
Bass: Andy Nicholson (I?m not positive about this part)

CHORUS 1
There?s nothing really I can say
Sorry mate and walk away (not sure about that line)
I could be wrong
(In this) or (Unless) You play your game
There?s one that?s cruel and most unkind
And horrible is redefined
I can?t imagine
That you mind at all
Bass: Andy Nicholson / (Again I?m not sure about this part but whatever)

I wasn?t sure if these were single notes or really fast alternating picking. You can
