You Only Live Once (Cifras)

This is an acoustic version of The Strokes' You Only Live Once.

I've played this many times, it works great on an acoustic guitar :) - Sam



Capo on 4, all chords relative to capo. Rhythm for the verse is DUDUDU U U UD D



When playing 'C' chord, add your pinky finger to the 3rd fret of the e string.

                                C7      C

One thousand ways to please your man, oh oh,

                         G       D

Not even one requires a plan, I know.

Sit me down,

        G      B    D      C

Shut me up,

        Am     C    Dsus2  D

I'll calm down,

And I'll get along with you.
