NOTE: There's a syncopated chord pattern used throughout the song, starting with the intro. The second measure includes a slide up (from a B5 to a C#5 if you play it Capo 2). | C#5 E B5 F# | B5 / C#5 C#5 B5 C#5 E5 C#5 | 1 2 3 4 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 In standard tab notation a forward slash means "slide up," but in standard chord notation it's used to indicate a chord with an alternate bass note. To make sure there's no confusion, I'll notate the slide with a forward arrow (>), like this: | C#5 E B5 F# | B5 > C#5 C#5 B5 C#5 E5 C#5 | ____________________________________________________ Dogtown (The Fratellis) Capo: 2 ||: C#5 E B5 F# | B5 > C#5 C#5 B5 C#5 E5 C#5 :|| C#5 E B5 F# There's a snakeskin bedroom bang in the middle B5 > C#5 C#5 B5 C#5 E5 C#5 Of a fun——ny little place called "Hell."

I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not intended to be taken as tabs which notate exactly how a song was played on a recording.
