The 1975 - Girls
Tab By Ethan Clay
I tabbed from this version of the song:

It probably isn't perfect, I've done this by ear and by watching some of the videos of
them playing it live, it sounds pretty accurate though.
When I play it I normally kind of just make up my own strumming pattern for the
Pre-Chorus and the Outro...
