Cornerstone chords by Arctic Monkeys

Version 1.2

Tuning: Standard
Key: A major

OK here we have the tab for Cornerstone by Arctic Monkeys, if you use this is
conjunction with Sanjuro333's tab for Jamie's part you can play the whole song
with 2 guitars, so go forth and learn it!

You may want to work out strumming and timing for yourself especially in the bridge and solo
where it gets a bit different. It's overall a pretty simple song from the new album.

Guitar 1 (Alex Turner)

Intro
A

Verse 1
A
I thought I saw you in the battleship
Bm
but it was only a look-a-like
A
She was nothing but a vision trick
Bm
Under the warning light
F#m
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
A
But my chances turned to toast
Dmaj7)
When i asked her if i could call her your name

Verse 1 [cont] (Same pattern)
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there

She was close, and she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name.

(To transition into the chorus play this; A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7 E, listen out for the strumming)

Chorus
Bm
And I elongated my lift home,
D
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Bm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
E
And kept my shortcuts to myself
A D Bm (Come in with A at the end of the chorus and play these chords like in the verse)
        (In the acoustic version Alex plays A D E to transition into the next verse)

Verse 2 (Same Pattern)
A
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak,
Bm
Messing with the smoke alarm,
A
It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
Bm
And she had a broken arm,
F#m
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
A
And she wrote it out in letra-set
C#m
No, you can't call me her name

Bridge
C#m
Tell me where's your hiding place
C#m
I'm worried I'll forget your face
F#m
And I've asked everyone
E6 optional here)
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along

Chorus
Bm
And I elongated my lift home,
D
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Bm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
Dm
And kept my shortcuts to myself


Solo
A D Bm x2 (Play this like you would in the verse)
Bm
E

Verse 3
A
I saw your sister in the cornerstone
Bm
On the phone to the middle man
A
When I saw that she was on her own
Bm
I thought she might understand
A
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
D
She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,
                       A
You can call me anything you want

And I mean that Eric ;)
