Notes!
-Slide up to the open A chords to be all bluesy like Frank (Listen to the track).
-The (*) mark means skip the chords and just walking down an open C to F like so
e|-0------1---|
B|-1------1---|
G|-0------2---|
D|-2-0----3---|
A|-3---3--3---|
E|-0------1---|
^The chords work, but it sounds clunky with full chords changes.
Plus that's how he does it in that one youtube video! You know the one!
This is the key for the youtube video I watched---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkv6TsnmirU
So for the album recording you would capo on the 2nd fret.
Intro:
Slide up to A all bluesy like for beats 1-3 and then play D on beat 4
Repeat 4 times, and on the 5th measure ring G for two beats and then D for two beats.
Verse 1 starts on beat 1 of measure 6. Hope thats detailed enough.

Frank Turner:
AI went down to London Town to stay for the weekend
I'd Dbeen to long out on the road I needed to Acatch up with my friends
But I Cadd9didn't expect to see Ayou there and I didnCadd9't expect to care A
And I said, F#moh hEoney Aif I hadBm known,
F#mHow Ethe wAeekend wouldBm go,
F#mJust Ehow Alow I coBmuld go,
DI would've Estayed awAay
(Same chords as ^)
Billy the Kid:
AI went back to town
Pack my things to say goodbye
But DI got talked in to going for a drink and Aone drink became a night
Cadd9If I'd know that you Awere 'round, I wouldCadd9n't have gone down A
And I said, F#moh hEoney Aif I couBmld had seen,
F#mWherEe this Aweekend woulBmd lead,
F#mAnd Eseen the Awreckage I'dBm leave,
DI would've Estayed awAay
Frank Turner:
DAnd I always knew it was a bad idea
AAnd I always knew that I should just stay Eclear
I slipped up on a couple of F#mmonths and a Ecouple of Dbeers
I'd like to fall in love again
ABut we're no good at being Efriends
It's just sex with the ex and the F#mmorning Eregrets
But Ado Dyou reFmember
Back Gwhen we were Cyoung C/Band unFformed D
It was Aall Dso much Feasier to Ggive of yourC/Gself to Gfall in Flove, Dyeah
But Aas Dwe get Folder and Gset in our Cways
We C/Bhide in our Fhearts
DBut on nights like these
It can Aseem Dso much sFimpler
To Gsimply Cforget C/Bwhy we Amever gGrew aFpartG
Billy the Kid:
FI don't really know what you were C/Gthinking
Do you even think at Gall?
Call and crash in some motion the Amway that we Gfall into Fbed
I don't really know what I was C/Gdrinking
I don't usually drink at Gall
I woke up with the hotel Ambill and an Gache in my Fhead
Frank Turner & Billy the Kid:
FI'd like to fall in love C/Gagain
We're no good at being Gfriends
It's just sex with the ex and the Ammorning reGgrets
And C/Goh, hoGney,
(*Am G C F)
It won't be the same
AmOh, Ghoney, we'll never Fchange
We're Amdrawn Gback Cinto the Dmflame
And we Fboth,
Both should’ve Gstayed,
Stayed awCay
