i don't know if this is one hundred percent right. i just listened to it on the rockers swallow dvd and guess-and-checked. sounds just about right though. please correct me if wrong. lyrics from rockerstoswallow.tk with some changes due to what's sung on the dvd. never heard a studio recording. please send me a file of it if you have one. that'd be if anyone knows the name of the style/effect of piano nick uses on his keyboard the verses please share it with me. even more dandy. there's a way to strum through all of the first part of the chorus. just mute unwanted with the index finger and the thumb when needed. your index should automatically mute the e string. finger the chords with middle, ring, and pinky. experiment. first tab. enjoy. Yeah Yeah Yeahs Down Boy in standard tuning
