Tuning: DADGBe (drop D)
Foals' new song, 'Mountain at my gates' from the forthcoming album 'What Went Down'. Loving the track and
thought I should tab it as best I could! There will be a few inaccuracies and if you spot any or can improve
the tab at all, let me know in the comments or by email and I'll see what I can do :) Enjoy!

For the outro, both guitars play the pre-chorus section through two times as far as I can tell, although
it becomes a bit drowned out so a little improvisation might work nicely in your favour if you want!
