Pretty Visitors

Song: Pretty Visitors
Band: Arctic Monkeys
Album: Humbug

VERSE:

I think it's played like this but with an octave pedal to make it sound an octave lower 
and that Jamie Cook doesn't tune down to Drop D when it's played live, but it should 
work well anyway in case you don't want to tune down.
