------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT YOU WANT - Bombay Bicycle Club ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Dan Weissman Tuning: Standard I haven't written very many tabs so I'm open to any and all comments and suggestions. The chords in the verses may not be exactly what they're playing but it sounds about as close as I could make out by ear.

Play around with it and see what sounds good. F#m e|--9-------| B|--10------| G|--11------| D|----------| A|----------| E|----------| The rest of the song is mostly repeats of the chorus and main riff.
