The opener on the new Fratellis album. Hopefully it should be right. There are a couple
overdubbed guitars in the songs, so I'll put their bits in brackets ().
EDIT: Sorted the verse thanks to rockywardie :)

Quality,
Really good.
The verse sounds like G C G F to me
Instead of G C F Bb
Other than that it's fine
NICE!
