The Deaf is a rock band from Den Haag (The Hague), Netherlands inspired by pretty much
all the old school stuff. I've seen them live a few times, and I like this song a lot! On
youtube I noticed a lot of people asked for tabs/chords/lyrics but nobody was able to
actually figure them out. Therefore I thought I'd give it a shot and I think it worked out
pretty decent.
There's different ways to play it:
- The simplest way, just the way it is. Standard tuning, nothing special.
- The original version, tuned down 1 half step.
- Spike and Janneke's acoustic version, with a capo on the 6th fret.
Enjoy, and don't forget to get laid! ;)
