Arctic Monkeys - The Afternoons Hat
Tabbed by: Aled Parry
Email: aparry491@btinternet.com
This is a B-Side from 'My Propeller' EP.
Tuning: Standard E

Please listen to the song for strum timing etc.
Personally the strumming is easy.
But singing at the same time is a challenge.
Alex Turner has really stepped up his skills in this track.

[Intro]


[Verse]

Made me kiss ya' with a whisper
                                   
and violently you swung, through unfamiliar tounge
                                                     
Couldn't listen to tradition, grabbed me by the wrist to silently insist

[Chorus]
                                               
And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place
                                        
The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste
                                        
Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat
                                           
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at

[Verse]

You stood shirtless and confident
                                      (pausa)
Listenin' to the fools, tickling the rules

Their obsessions follow patterns
                     
Sat upon their stools, with their attitudes

[Chorus]
                                                 
And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place
                                        
The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste
                                        
Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat
                                     
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at

[Chorus/Outro]
                                                 
And when i'm in the confines of crawling walls, you hold me in place
                                        
The ripples on the ceiling the avenues, unsugared taste
                                       
Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat
                                           (ring)
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at.
