Another one that isn’t for the faint hearted — look at that BPM! It is a fun one though. Great song too.
A couple of notes on the transcription…
The song starts with a half time feel so you only feel the full effect of the 184 BPM from the second verse (bar 49).
It’s quite hard to hear exactly what Sam Doyle plays in the chorus on the recording as there is a lot going on and it’s so fast. The choruses in my transcription are a blend between what you’ll hear on the recording and what he plays live — if you search the song on YouTube you’ll find lots of great performances and it’s quite a bit easier to hear what he’s playing!
