We Were Promised Jetpacks “An Almighty Thud” These Four Walls Fat Cat Records Tuning - D Tuning (whole-step down from standard) Notes in parentheses (2) are ghost notes/implied notes. Adam Thompson places his fingers on these notes although they are not purposefully plucked or strummed. Hey guys, this is my first tab on here, it may be a bit lengthy, but it’s the most accurate way to show the entire tab. The album version of this song is played tuned a whole-step down from standard tuning, however, in some live recordings and performances it is played just like this in standard tuning. Good luck learning and playing, and let me know of any correction. Jeyqwop.
