Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning Acoustic

[haveyoumetcarlos]

Actually, I am Alex. c:

[RealSoyZombie]

It is so weird to hear it without the bass line.

[RRsuchtdenSupeRRstar]

haha, i just watched it through the end because of the conversation in the video XD

[jaceallred]

The bridge part was part of the song before going into the studio to record it. The song was originally wrote with that included but it was changed in studio to have psychedelic noises and guitar solos.

[darckarboy]

cada ves amo mas a esta banda :)

[szymi101293]

świetne

[BarrytheChopper14]

The annotations are really funny! XD

[facebook93552]

[TheUndiscoveredMusic]

alex turner is either a great poet or a great bullshitter.( or both) either way it sounds pretty cool!great band and a great third album, viva arctic monkeys!

[SunsetThe]

[pownown]

Verse:

Am F Am E Am G C G#

First chorus:

[PressStartGaming]

@pownown very similar to while my guitar gently weeps by the beatles

[tumblesplitsthefray]

This is amazing. The fill in lyrics are perfection. The piano just completes this version.

[FreakinHernandez]

Standard chords:

verse: Am F Am E Am G C G#

chorus: Am (first time), F Dm Am (second time and at the end)

amazing added lyrics filling in for equally amazing solo:

Am Dm F E

sounds right enough to me.

[JakabMarton]

does anyone know the chords???

[cornpopsandacid]

"Well you reading a book about some idiot

And telling me about another

I got so severely underwhelmed

I though i might never recover

Staighten the rudder girl

And sail me upstairs

And go and find somebody who cares

Well we might not be the perfect partners

But tonight we make a pair"

[Kimehameha]

[AGILEBEAST100]

Crying Lightning has grown to become one of my favourite Arctics songs! loving Alex's extra verse!

[JonnyMonk3782001]

Is it true he improvised the middle bit? It's fantastic. Genuinelly "cool" lyrics.

[beetlezumbie]

@JonnyMonk3782001 What part in the middle ecxactly are you referring to?

[JonnyMonk3782001]

I'm on about the extra lyrical bit "You were readin' a book, about some idiot..." etc.

[highwireman]

very polished, nice middle bit as well.

[domg2hotmailcouk]

saw them in nottingham (L) awesome

[GREYANDINDIE]

This is music, amazing voice an terrific lyrics. Even though it will get better than this with the next album, I know it.

[Jeeskaa]

[danielbartolo02]

@hitomibob They are gods

[EPHsamniels]

Loved the different break

[shaunbarnes90]

These are well good. I like the last shadow puppets acoustic songs too. I saw Arctic Monkeys at Wembley arena!

[OllieProd]

@shaunbarnes90 I saw them at manchester :D Was amazing

[North3n]

incredible

[donkeykidtim]

the more i listen to these acoustic versions the more i think about how it would be cool if they would just release "humbug: acoustified"

[Fergalhealy]

In complete agreement with you. Should do album with acoustic versions of all their songs except maybe the more rocky ones.

[notfunnyjokeithink]

fuckin amazing ^*

[AluxAntunes]

acoustic is good.

[TheWarriorDaphon]

[LynchKubrickTarantiN]

My god. The guys are already huge, but they keep getting bigger and better and flawless... Where is this gonna end?

[yewoc]

Hopefully never...

[Scoob505]

when they get married? Die perhaps?

[yewoc]

[Hatton08]

[waddup2717]

You were reading a book about (?) and telling me about another

I was so severely underwhelmed I thought I might never recover

Straighten the rudder girl, and sail me upstairs, and go and find somebody who cares

Well we might not be the perfect partners but tonight, we make a pair

[jesse150992]

In Waddup2171's text:

? = some idiot. The rest is okay, of course.
