I’ve checked all of the tabs of When the Sun Goes Down on this site, and although some of them are really good, none of them seem to be 100 % accurate. And perhaps (probably) this isn't either but at least it sound pretty close to what’s played on the album, and also it looks kind of like this when Arctic Monkeys play it live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRyWcge_nmg and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nyzae8hYTY). Use this and the bass tab version 3 featured on this site and your pretty close to sounding like the real deal. Hope you enjoy it! A smashing tune from the best band in years and I personally think the best tab I’ve seen of it so far. ____________________________________________________________________ Verse 1 and 2 GUITAR ONE (ALEX), CLEAN. |----------------------------------------—------------------x--4-| |-7--------x--11----x--9------x--7------x--9------x--7------x--5-| |-8--------x--12----x--8------x--8------x—-8------x--8------x--6-| |-9--------x--11----x--9------x--8------x—-9------x--8------x--6-| |-9--------x--13----x--7------x--6------x—-7------x--6------x--4-| |-7--------x--11--------------------------—-----------------x--4-| |----x-(4)/--9--7--6--4--6--| |----x-(5)/--11-9--7--5--7--| |----x-(6)/--9--7--8--6--8--| |----x-(6)/--11-9--8--6--8--| |----x-(4)/--9--7--6--4--6--| |----x-(4)/--9--7--6--4--6--| (Repeat x2) Verse 3 GUITAR ONE (ALEX), CLEAN. |--11---------x--6----------x—-11---------x—-6-----------x--11---| |--12---------x--7----------x--12---------x--7-----------x--12---| |--13---------x--8----------x--13---------x--8-----------x—-13---| |--13---------x--8----------x--13---------x--8-----------x--13---| |--11---------x--6----------x—-11---------x--6-----------x--11---| |-------------x-------------x—------------x--------------x-------| |-x--6-----x--4--5--x--6--6--x--7--7--x--9------------------------------| |-x--7-----x--5--5--x--7--7--x--9--9--x--11-----------------------------| |-x--8-----x--6--6--x--8--8--x--7--7--x--9------------------------------| |-x--8-----x--6--6--x--8--8--x--9--9--x--11-----------------------------| |-x--6-----x--4--4--x--6--6--x--7--7--x--9------------------------------| |-x---------------------------------------------------------------------| Let ring Followed by short pause/break. Then Alex sings: “I said: he’s a scumbag, don’t you know!?” And on “know” both Alex and Jamie start playing. From now on until the outro, both guitars should be distorted. So, this is the first part of the first bridge, middle 8 or what you'd prefer to call it. GUITAR ONE (ALEX) This is not the exact strumming pattern; you’ll have to listen to the record to catch the correct strumming. |---2-----3--2--2--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---3-----3--2--3--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---4-----4--3--4--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---4-----5--4--4--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---2-----5--4--2--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---2-----3--2--2--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---3--2--2--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---3--2--3--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---4--3--4--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---5--4--4--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---5--4--2--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |---3--2--2--x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------------------------------| |----3--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------------------------------| |----2--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------------| |----4--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------------| |----5--4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------------------| |----5--4--2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------------------------------| |----3--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------------------------------| The fourth time, just play: |----3--2--------------------------| |----3--2--------------------------| |----4--3--------------------------| |----5--4--------------------------| |----5--4--------------------------| |----3--2--------------------------| GUITAR TWO (JAMIE) |---2-----3--2--2-----------------------------------------| |---3-----3--2--3-----------------------------------------| |---4-----4--3--4-----------------------------------------| |---4-----5--4--4-----------------------------------------| |---2-----5--4--2-----------------------------------------| |---2-----3--2--2-----------------------------------------| |----3--2--2---------------------------| |----2--2--3---------------------------| |----4--3--4---------------------------| |----5--4--4---------------------------| |----5--4--2---------------------------| |----3--2--2---------------------------| x3 And then comes the second part of the bridge.

Sorry for the messed up language above. This is how I intended it to be:
"I’ve checked all of the tabs of When the Sun Goes Down on this site, and although some
them are really good, none of them seem to be 100 % accurate. And perhaps (probably) this isn't
either, but at least it sound pretty close to what’s played on the album, and also it looks
kind of like this when Arctic Monkeys play it live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRyWcge_nmg and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nyzae8hYTY). Use this and the bass tab version 3
on this site and your pretty close to sounding like the real deal.
Some words seem to "fall off" when you copy it from MS Word to UG.com. Sorry for that. Sure you will get trough the text anyway.
hey dude, thanx for make this great tab! its sounds very nice, and better than the version 1 which is rate so high, thats confusing, I think this one should get more high raten than that one, anyway, well done!!
