Artist: The Killers
Song: Somebody Told Me
Transcribed by: Geoff Dugwyler and Erik O'Connor

The original file for this song wasn't quite correct.
This version is more accurate, and includes the intro.
Thanks to Erik O'Connor for the original version (appears below).



Really this song is driven by bass and keyboard, and the lead guitar most
of the is deadened and strummed in rhythm, with a heavy flange filter
applied.  Every once in a while a slight variation on the intro is played
(usually when the F# is hit during the verse).  You should be able to
figure it out pretty easily.

--> Lyrics are included because the verses are extremely difficult to
tell when the changes are coming up.  The Killers did not use a standard
progression of any sort, so lyrics are needed for timing the changes.

the mp3 :)
