Whats A Girl To Do Tab

by Bat For Lashes


Last summer Bat For Lashes was the opening act for Radiohead during their concert in Paris
and I got to like her music, she's quite an unique gal and her sound is so melodic, yet so dark
This is (I think) Bat For Lashes's most known single. Really good song and also, 
really easy. Enjoy!
