Song: Dark on The Matinee
Artist: Franz Ferdinand
Album: Self-titled
Tabbed by: MrGreenCunt
Tuning: Standard Bass
Timing: 4/4 and later changes to 6/8

/ Slide up
~ Let ring

The bass is quite prominent, so just follow the song if you get lost. Nevertheless, I attempted to tab the timing as well, to make it easier if necessary. Four beats per bar, so keep that in mind even if the tab numbers are not looking constant.

>Now in changing to the third verse, the timing switches from 4/4 to 6/8, so the tempo is a lot slower. Listen and you can should it straight away. This time, six beats per bar.
