It's Hard To Get Around the Wind - Alex Turner
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S M
Vocal Tabbed by: kwanzo91

Tuning: Standard
Rhythm Guitar S M
Great tune from the soundtrack of Submarine, the whole song is fingerpicking, but it
pretty much follows the
same pattern throughout.
Solo Guitar S M
I've included parts of the lyrics in the tab itself, and they are aligned to the beat
where he starts that
line (some of them come in on 1, some on 2, some of the upbeat of 2, etc.). I've also
Drums S M included the chord
sheet at the bottom once you have the picking pattern down.

This is my first tab, so please leave feedback. Enjoy!

Chord sheet (for those who have the picking down):

[Verse]

C
It's like you're trying to get to heaven in a hurry
C
And the queue was shorter than you thought it would be
Dm G C
And doorman says you need to get a wristband

C
You gotta lift between the pitfalls
C
But you're looking like you're low on energy,
Dm G C
Did you get out and walk to insure you'd miss the quicksand

[Chorus]

F C
Looking for a new place to begin
Dm G
Feeling like it's hard to understand
C C7
But as long as you still, keep peppering the pill
F D7
You'll find a way, to spit it out again
C G Am
And even when you know, the way it's gonna blow
F G
It's hard, to get around the wind

[Bridge 1]

4 4 4 4
C/// C/// Dm/// G/// x2

(each letter and "/" represents 1 beat, so you play each for 4 beats -
I put the number of beats above if you're confused)

[Verse]

C
Stretching out the neck on your evening
C
Trying to even out some defects
Dm G C
But it's sabre-toothed multi-ball confusion

C
 And you can shriek until you're hollow
C
Or whisper it the other way
Dm G C
Trying to save the youth, without putting your shoes on

[Chorus]

F C
Looking for a new place to begin
Dm G
Feeling like it's hard to understand
C C7
But as long as you still, keep peppering the pill
F D7
You'll find a way, to spit it out again
C G Am
And even when you know, the way it's gonna blow
F G
It's hard, to get around the wind

[Bridge 2]

1 1 4 1 1 4 1 1 4 2 4 4 4 4 4 2 2 4 4 4
C G Am/// F G C/// C G Am/// F/ E/// Am/// C/// F/// D7/// C/ G/ Am/// F/// G///

[Verse]

C
I can hear you through my window
C
But I'm never quite sure who is who
Dm G C
But they want the world on a desert spoon

C
It always sounds like they're fighting
C
Or as if that's what they're about to do
Dm G C - strum and let ring
It might not hurt now, but it's gonna hurt soon
