Version 1.0

Tuning: Standard
Key: G Major

Today, ladies and gentlemen, we have a tab for 'Black Treacle' the second track 
from Arctic Monkeys upcoming fourth album entitled 'Suck it and See' This is a tab 
of the live version so I will make any adjustments when the studio version 
actually gets released but I don't expect any of the chords to change so this is 
about as accurate as it will ever be. Nothing too complex here, can all be played 
open with the exception of a couple of chords. I'll post a link to the youtube 
video if you want to play along which you will probably need to, to get to grips 
with the strumming as there is a fair bit of off-beat strumming throughout the 
verses. Regardless, learn, enjoy and as usual; email me if you have any issues.
