Never Miss A Beat - Kaiser Chiefs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: standard
Intro:
I struggled at first with the timing at the start when this comes in,
itÂ’s sort of on the 3rd beat in the bar.
e| ----3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3~-|B| --3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3----|G| ---------------------------------------|D| ---------------------------------------|A| ---------------------------------------|E| ---------------------------------------|
During the verse live whitey plays these 2 notes at the start of every bar
and on the second chorus strums the G chord with them and lets it ring.
Pre-Chorus:
Cooooooooooooooooooool...
e| ----3/6--/15-18\17-15------15\---3---3---3---3--|B| --3--/--6/15---18\17-15-15-----3---3---3---3----|G| ------------------------------------------------|D| ------------------------------------------------|A| ------------------------------------------------|E| ------------------------------------------------|
Chorus:

When playing live and possibly on the record,
although itÂ’s very hard to hear,
when playing the second F in the chorus whitey seems to add in the A# on the B string
it Fsus4.
Fsus4e|----|B|-11-|G|-10-|D|-10-|A|-8--|E|----|
He bounces on and off with his little finger, going between a normal F and the Fsus4,
is a pattern to it but anyway most people wonÂ’t bother with this.
But itÂ’s a good skill to learn because whitey seems to use this on a few things.
After the first chorus the intro is repeated but itÂ’s slightly different with a few
etc.
