Tame Impala
'Flow'
First of all, Tame Impala play their songs in D Tuning which is 1 full
step below Standard. I however, have tabbed this is standard tuning for
your convenience but be warned it may not sound as good as the band!
Also, a lot of people wanted this tab, so please rate it!

The solo may sound a bit off but it's the best I could do from what I could
hear, it's mainly just improvised bends and slides high up the neck.
