Released at April 14th 2008 as the debut single by the Last Shadow Puppets and opening
track from their first -and only- homonymous album, this song peaked UK Rock, reached
#3 on Spain singles, #9 on UK Singles, #24 on Italy Singles, #34 on Ireland Singles and
#81 on France Singles. Accompanied by orchestral arrangements, the guitar goes along with
a quick gallopando rhythm (which makes this song tiring to play), joined by vocal
harmonies between Alex Tuner and Miles Kane.

grasp the strumming rhythm (gallopando rhythm, follows the percussions)
