Dune Rats - Colour Television (2011)
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Strumming pattern: DDUUDU
__________________________________________________________________________
As I could not find the lyrics anywhere, I had to just listen to the song
and write out what I could clearly hear. Where it is underscored (_______)
is where I couldn't make out the words so if you play along you'll know at 
least when to play the right chords.
Anyway, It's a really fun song to play so enjoy yourself!   
YEW!
